"I am a fellow small business owner. And due to COVID 19 quarantine, my virtual office closed for months. I acquired a small garden shed for my back yard/ land to convert into a temporary home office until. Well, I needed a picture window that I found at a local salvage yard installed. Needless to say I contacted many local contractors who either said my job was too small. Or they were not working due to the lock down. This through my business off. And caused me to lose time, customers and money. This was due to a lack of finishing the interior of the shed. After calling home advisor and being referred to RAFF Construction, they not only promptly arrived and did excellent service IN A RAINSTORM, they installed two additional windows for us. They NEVER made my small job feel LESS important. And they followed up to make sure we were pleased. These guys SAVED my business. And in turn saved my life. I couldn't be more pleased. I will definitely be using them for all of my future construction jobs."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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.
