"Heriberto and his team were amazing! He is honest, good with communication, reliable, and hard working. Heriberto does not just supervise, but works all day with his crew, only leaving the site to pick up materials. This is rare for any company these days. He offered several solutions to our difficult drainage problems, varying in price. We chose to have him dig 3 feet deep into our rock beds outside our pool enclosure, lowering everything as well as making room for rainwater to drain through our pipes to the front gutters. It was a big and difficult job. Discovering we had a couple feet of clay on our property, the crew had to also cut through a tangle of tree roots. To avoid cables and pipes, they had to work manually in one area. They didn't give up... worked from morning until evening, and even some weekend hours. As problems arose, they would offer solutions. They fixed an old sprinkler pipe that shattered, replaced sod for grassy areas that were damaged despite them being careful, and shopped around for the best prices on materials to save us money. To keep moisture away from our house, we also had them add another rock bed to one side of our house without one. I couldn't be happier with these guys. The job was completed in under two weeks and was under 10k. It was a lot of money to spend, but re-grading our yard would have been way higher. We haven't had a huge storm since the work was done to test the maximum capacity yet, but he told us to call him if there are any issues. I believe him. These were the best guys I have hired in years. I highly recommend them."

"The unused land next to our driveway was an eye sore, and the only thing separating the land from our driveway was rotted wood. We hired a surveyor to mark our property line and decided to grade that land and install a retaining wall. I am so glad we hired ODL. They worked within our budget and did a phenomenal job! They are a small family company, which further boosts their resume in respect to quality and care. They are professional, reliable, hardworking, and talented. I plan on hiring them to do the next phase of adding low growing plants in front of the wall. I strongly recommend hiring them. They do not disappoint."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much. 

Professionals who complete perc tests can usually do them in a single day. Including excavating to expose the test site, filling the hole with water, and monitoring it while it drains, you can expect the test to take between four and eight hours total. It’s possible that you’ll get the results the same day, but some companies may take a few days to get official results.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

There is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth’s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank’s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.
