"These guys were consummate professionals. They went above and beyond what they were hired for. Not only did I hire them on Friday and they were at my property at 0800 on Monday morning, they finished the entire job by lunch on Tuesday. There was a small SNAFU, but Mark went out of his way to fix the problem ASAP. I would highly recommend these guys for your next job, they have brought new life into my 70 year old home. Mahalo guys!"

"Mark O'dell did a wonderful job on my DHHL clearing out approximately 3 acres of land filled with gun powder trees and California grass. He was quick to respond and coordinated his equipment before my departure back to the mainland. He was very professional and courteous to meet my requirements. A little pricey but worth every penny. I highly recommend Mark for future projects and look forward to working with him again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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. 

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
