"Great work st a very fair price. Trimmed a hurricane damaged tree and removed a very large uprooted tree stump in a difficult location. Once arrived (a little late but thatâ s ok) they immediately started work and didnâ t stop until completed. Excellent work and amazing cleanup. Definitely recommend and wonâ t hesitate to hire again if needed."

Customers say: Quality work

"We had Pelican Rock Company install a border edging using block pavers we also had edging installed in a plant bed across the front of the house. We are extremely happy with the quality of the work. The installers were professional and clean. The work is sharp and looks fantastic. They made sure curves were installed properly and lines were straight. Great job. I highly recommend you give them a call for your next project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
