"Efrain responded quickly, showed up when he said he would, explained how he would fix the retaining wall (including adding drainage so no future problems arose) and was very communicative. He completed the job when he said he would and it looks wonderful. I would wholeheartedly recommend him based on my experience. Rarely do I find it enjoyable to work with someone on home repair, but he was excellent!"

"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

"We had severe draining issues and garage flooding with a reverse pitch driveway and retaining walls that funneled the water under our garage door too fast for our pump to keep up. Before photo included too. Justin developed a grading plan using CAD software that was more advanced than the inspectors were even knowledgeable about. We removed a whole wall and hill, tripled the size of our drains and the driveway now fits 6 cars instead of 3. The work was high quality and crew was respectful, dedicated and hardworking. The rock wall was way beyond my expectations and people actually stopped in the middle of the road to tell the crew and us how amazing it looks. I chose cement for durability and visual appeal but they gave me many options to consider. You can't go wrong working with this team, they go above and beyond to solve your issues."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

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.

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.

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.
