"I called Forever Excavating to get a quote on to remove several large oak trees near my house. They returned my call promptly and scheduled a time to come evaluate the work at a time that was convenient for me. They were on time, professional, knowledgeable and provided an estimate that I believe to be reasonable and thorough. The work was completed on time. I would gladly recommend them to anyone and will definitely be in contact for my future landscaping needs."

"Marc went above and beyond when installing a yard drainage system in our side yard. He was quick to give us a competitive quote, easy to work with, and got a complicated job done fast. I would highly recommend him for homeowners looking to modify the slope and or drainage plan for their plot."

"Brian and Cory took up my old brick walkway, re-graded the area (we had a significant ‘ponding’ issue), relaid the brick in the original, beautiful pattern, filled in the spaces between the bricks. Brian is easy to communicate with, responds promptly, shows up when he says he will. We’ve now hired him to replace steps in our backyard. Thank you Brian!"

"I asked Isaac to advise on removing overhanging and dead trees and he promptly came to discuss and offer suggestions. Made sense. I accepted a very reasonable estimate for the work (removing about 8 large trees and trimming several more and cutting to stove length for me to split). He arrived on schedule with one worker and a couple trucks and did a great job over 2 1/2 days. Trees dropped expertly. Adjusted plans along the way as other needs became apparent. I was very happy with Timber Tiger and have recommended him to several others."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
