"I would highly recommended this Company again. Leasa and Jody did an outstanding job and were extremely through. If you need stumps gone, or a dirt pad put in, they are the ones you should go with. Their prices are reasonable and you can trust that they will get the work done right!"

"Honest and upfront about the total cost. My water pipes had ruptured and they arrived quickly. Leroy and Shonda were very knowledgeable and experienced. The job was complete in a DAY. The estimate was below all other estimates. They provided extra services as well. Replacing heating elements in water heater, replacing inside valves for washer/dryer, making certain each water outlet has individual turn off valves. Still cheaper than other estimates that would only provide replumb. Call LSC first. It'll be the best call you ever make."

Excavating questions, 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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.
