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!"

"They were very efficient in their work, answered all of our questions, as we like to understand why things are done a certain way. Provided us a solution that we had not considered to prevent future flooding of our back yard and patio. Years of multiple sod installations and soil had to be removed/moved to create the right elevation (below the elevation of the patio, which makes perfect sense VS our thought and intent was to provide drainage to below grade. Which probably would have caused other issues with the water. May have cost more than our idea, but well worth the investment if it is truly a long term/permanent fix. I guess we'll see when we get our first big rain! But feeling confident in success. Thank you to Jeff, Paul, Kevin and Edgar. Great team."

They came in on time and finished it on time. Never had any problems with this company or its workers. I am very pleased with thier hard work. I would recommend Casper concrete to anyone in need of a new driveway or any concrete job needed done. Also their prices were very fair. ð"

"B&T Land Development exceeded my expectations for the work I had asked them to do. They arrived early, were very professional, knowledgeable and did great work! I had them remove some trees and bushes on my property. They removed everything and raked the land back over to make it look nice. They were careful with their machine and never messed up my sod in the yard. 10/10 would highly recommend this company."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
