"Trey did a very good job replacing a crushed drainage pipe. He got tied up on another job and was late getting started but stayed and worked in the rain to get the job done. I also tried to hire him for additional work but have not received a call back. I was disappointed because he was really easy to work with and did a good job."

"We hired Fortin Landscaping in the fall to redo areas around our home with plantings. We were pleased with the professionalism and attention to detail. We hired them again in early spring to do additional work. They are responsive to requests and their crew is on time and efficient. Highly recommend for any landscaping and stone work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

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. 

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
