"I couldn't be more happy with the work Eleven Eleven Excavating did at my home. I had grading around the house done and gravel put down for my driveway,carport and shed. The work was done sooner than expected and done well at a fair price. I would definitely use them again."

"This was the easiest and most efficient project I have ever experienced. And the end result is better than I imagined. As a home owner for over 38 years, I have had a lot of disappointment with contractors, plumbers, etc. Leon has restored my faith in the process. His estimate was fair and he completed the job less than a week after we met. He explained everything he would do and the materials needed. He also contacted me as needed. The front bed looks wonderful. Leon actually listened to and respected my ideas so I now have space to dig and plant my own flowers. Digging is no longer easy for me, but Leon tilled (??) the soil so it will easy for me to dig small holes. Leon is a reliable and responsible young man. His kindness and work ethic are admirable. I highly recommend him!!"

"The quality of work really stands out, the edging and mowing was done well, and made my lawn look better then it ever has. Their attention to detail was amazing, and all my requests were performed to my liking. If you want a dependable and high quality crew for consistent cuts, I recommend A&A Lawncare."

Customers say: Quick response

"Quick response to my request on Friday and demolition the next Monday. The demolition and removal took less than an hour. I am pleased because the dilapidated shed was in the way of my next home improvement project. I told Alan I was leaving for vacation Monday morning. He was on site at 7:15 am."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

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.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

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. 

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
