Hello my name is Cody Wehner. Im 30 years old. I’m from a rural area near Covington, Louisiana. I grew up doing excavation work. This is my 13th year in this line of work. I’ve recently decided to branch out and start my own business. I’m a owner operated business. I would like to stay that way. In my opinion a smaller business takes more pride in there work. I have experience in building roads, building house pads, building levy's, digging/cleaning ditch’s, digging ponds, clearing and grading land for water I drainage, industrial pipeline construction, and industrial plant construction. I can arrange for materials to be hauled in if needed. And I have my own dump trailer to haul materials out. Any other questions just ask!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
