Customers say: Super punctual

"Wow! Jeremy & his crew did an EXCEPTIONAL job clearing our site. There were trees, shrubs, random junk, large areas of cement and even sections with slabs of concrete half a foot thick and they just handled it all! Their pricing was reasonable, the scheduling was fast & convenient, and we could not be happier with the outcome. They left a very clean site behind. They are true pros. We will tell everyone we know about Conway Land Clearing & Site Prep!"

"Charles was awesome! Called me the same day I inquired and was able to give a good ballpark quote when I explained the scope of work. He even coordinated the dirt dump for us. He and his team did a very professional job leveling the ground for a large above ground pool. I was extremely pleased with the work and with the quick replies to my inquiries for scheduling the work. Hands down, I would call him again! Thank you so much!"

"I was fortunate to find Soular Gardening. They did an outstanding job maintaining my gardens in my front and backyards. I could always count on them for everything I needed. Also, they charged a very fair price for the work they did. The owner, Tom Kruger, often came to my home in person. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

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. 

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
