"Very professional. I've never seen anyone take the time to clean up like they did! They made sure nothing was left behind. I've had tree work done in the past, and the tree guys have always left a big mound of things behind that I'd have to deal with.. but not these guys! Hands down, they are the best I've ever seen!!"

"We have been the general contractors on our beach home in Crescent Beach after having to fire our incompetent general contractor. Angie's List provided us with All Around Old Town and we are so grateful to the trenching completed by Frank Babb in order to energize our home. This is a contractor who is professional, shows up on time, completes the job requested without any excuses and cleans up after himself.

"H&K siteworks did not do a great job with my driveway. We were supposed to get 6inches of milling compacted for our driveway. i don't believe we even have 3 inches in many places. It hasn't been finished for a month and grass is already growing through the driveway. They only hand tamped the driveway under our carport which has left alot of loose dirt everywhere. This is totally not what we were told was going to be done and are not happy with the results."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.
