"This company did an excellent job after a large tree was removed from my front lawn. They brought their crew out early on a Monday morning leveled the ground with topsoil, put sod down, new mulch, stones and flowers where it was requested, and all finished within 4 days. They left it neat and professional looking. I would recommend them. "

"Very professional. Preston's employees are true craftsman. Very detailed and precise. They tore down my old decks and builder one large deck in its place. Their work was so professionally done in both the tear down and the new build. My next door neighbor even told me, after everything was complete, that she barely heard them working. Preston was very involved and came by regularly to make sure the work was going smoothly and to go over any details we might need. We love our new large deck. Thank you Preston, thank you Maestro! "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

On average, you’re looking at about 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet. Your actual work time will come down to how many twists and turns there are when digging—such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and whether the ground is frozen.
