"I hired this company for a clearing of a lot approximately 1/2 acre, it was to clear the property for a new construction, they remove trees, roots, stumps also removed an old slab and other things in the property. The work that they provided was outstanding, very professional , high quality work. They were flexible with a change I requested and willing to help. Heriberto was very knowledgeable and was very attentive to details. I really appreciate all the great information they provided. The property looks amazing. All that they said they would do, they did in a timely manner. The work was prompt, and accurate. I will continue to recommend this company and if I need any additional work will definitely call them again."

"Hard working, prompt, honest, and on time. Pedro made a commitment that when he started the work, he would stay until the job was complete. In 4 days, they removed the old concrete driveway, excavated, installed new brick (with precision mitered corner cuts), and cleaned up as if they were never here. I would recommend him to anyone that asks"

"Very smooth experience. The shingles and dumpster arrived before the crew. They came in the morning and finished the job by dark. A larger house would probably take more time. The next day the dumpster was removed and the county passed the inspection."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
