"Working with Rykan and his team at Sawgrass Construction to perform a major home renovation was an absolute pleasure. Rykan maintained consistent communication with us throughout the process and was always available to meet us in person if needed. The quality of work and materials was excellent and his prices were very fair. Knowing we were under difficult time constraints, he expedited tasks to ensure there was minimal downtime which we greatly appreciate. We will only recommend Rykan, Jerry, and the rest at Sawgrass Construction and will definitely use them for any of our future home projects!"

"I couldn’t be more pleased with the work ! I gave actually thought I was in the wrong place when they answered because I was needing some plank flooring that was glued to the floor removed. They gave me a price again. I thought it was unrealistic that they could do it for that cheap they came out there used a technique. I’ve never seen before and had that plank up in no time. Thank you oh did I mention they did it all in the same day I called."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.

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.
