"Two employees that he brought. A wrapped on time. At 10 o'clock by 11: 30, they were by 11 o'clock. They were having to call him to bring him a chainsaw because their equipment didn't have bars on the chainsaw so they couldn't cut. I had a tree down in my yard and it needed it to be cut up. It was a partial tree. They didn't even have the equipment to cut it up. And then, like, I said . Guy was there when the employee called him at 11: 30, and asked for a chainsaw, and he didn't show up with anything until 4: 30. In the afternoon, these guys were out there trying to chop up these trees using a pickaxe. They didn't even have a telephone to call him with. He left them without a phone. They had to use my phone and my daughter's phone to even contact him. And then he rushed me to pay him because he told me not to worry about it until you know everything was done. And he rushed me to pay him. I was out at the grocery store, and I told him I'd be home. He, they told me, you were here. And that's what I'm not. I'll be right there. And then, when I get there, he's standing on my porch waiting on me. I thought you were in the house, and I already told him I wasn't at home. Well, then I go out and I look after they leave because he didn't even give me time to look. They had taken a wreck and a half of my firewood that they weren't supposed to touch. They had chopped up my, uh Rosa Sharon bush, that they weren't supposed to touch. They were supposed to take a pile of brush out of the backyard. They didn't take it, and they were supposed to trim two small trees out over the top of my shed, and those didn't get touched. And when I told him that he argued with me and said, well, they said they did it with a machete. As it was obvious. If you come and look, those trees are still there so I didn't like his attitude. I didn't like the way he treated his employees. They had no way to contact him if and when they had gotten done early, which they couldn't because they didn't have the equipment they needed to do the job with. But he sure wanted my money real quick. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

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 most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.
