"My yard was a muddy mess, falling apart, and I was having to put more and more blocks under one side of my camper to keep it level. ASL Excavating came in and took a look and, not only complied with my needs and wants, but also gave some great suggestions, like placing an underdrain directly from my downspout sending all the water directly into a drainage gully. We also had a crushed stone pad placed for the camper parking, and along with the new grading it sits perfectly level, no blocking needed. Riprap was placed at the steep slope to prevent erosion. They also graded my driveway, prepping it for my next project, paving. They did the work 14 months ago and it looks as good as the day they finished. They were quick and appeared efficient with some nice technology. They had very little space to work and left no damage behind. Shane is the owner and a great guy to work with. He and his crew have a lot of experience and the pictures of their prior work sold me on hiring ASL Excavating."

"Jake and his team were awesome to work with and they'd be the first I'd recommend for any excavation job big or small. He was able to make our vision for a backyard into a reality and worked tirelessly (weekends included) to make it happen. Jake was on time, honest and dependable, which is unheard of in the current market!"

"Showed up on time. Accommodated a small space work area. Cleaned up and even used a blower to clean up the lawn area. Had 2 maples that towered over our house, down in not time at all. It was a pleasure to work with them."

"Jason and his crew did an outstanding job resurfacing our old driveway. He came out and gave us an estimate in early spring and even though gas prices etc have gone up still only charged us the original estimate price when they completed the job a couple of months later. He and his whole crew of guys were a pleasure to work with and we are so happy with the finished looks of our driveway. we highly recommend Jason for any work that you need done ."

Customers say: Quick response

"They are very conscientious and careful of my property (I have a new driveway and they were very careful of it with heavy equipment ). They were also punctual and wanted to work around my night shift schedule even though it wasnâ t necessary. I really appreciated the concern!"

"A great experience from start to finish. Had a gravel road built from our driveway around to the back garden behind our house, along with some landscape work. High quality work. In and out in just a few days. Friendly, hard-working crew. Jarek himself is flexible and attentive. Reasonable price. One of the best experiences we’ve had with a contractor."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

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.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history.
