"Jim and his crew did an amazing job transforming our backyard of overgrown weeds and bushes into a beautiful, usable outdoor living space. At first the job was just to remove weeds, trimming bushes and like work. However it became obvious he and crew could do much more. Final job included above work, plus old fencing removal and complete fence rebuild including heavy gate, sod installation, and brick patio installation ( I already had the bricks ). In addition we had Jim bring in and lay decorative rock along one section for a stone pathway. Now my wife and I have a nice green lawn, secure fence, and backyard patio to use , relax and enjoy. Project cost was very reasonable considering all work done. But I am convinced the money was very well spent and has added much value to our property. Job very well done !"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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. 

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.
