From being on time for the estimates, working with me on water runnoff solutions, soil preparation, and fescue sod installation, they did everything right. Top notch results from this company. I strongly recommend them and will use them for future jobs."

"Jeff and his crew were fantastic!! We couldn't have had a better experience. Jeff worked with us on design and made suggestions that enhanced the project. As we made revisions to the scope of work, Jeff was timely in modifying the quote and was so patient with us while we worked out the details! He quoted a start date and started on that date and worked daily until the project was complete. The crew was respectful of our property and that of our neighbors. The landscaping turned out beautiful! We were working from home during the entire project and didn't once see a corner cut. Additionally, Jeff had creative solutions so some existing drainage problems and offered those along the way. Graceful Gardens was amazing and I am thrilled to recommend them."

"Atlas tree Service did a terrific job digging a French drain, replacing a dead holly tree, and trimming up a large oak tree for me. The drain is working beautifully and the sod looks beautiful. I would recommend them highly."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

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 for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.
