Customers say: Quick response

"They did a great job on multiple area project that included excavation, grading, drainage and septic tank installation. Rick, Brad and Allen were all professional, friendly and real pleasure to work with. Rick was able to perform very precise operations with the excavator and ensured everything was cleaned up and looking good before they left. Would recommend them to anyone in their service area and would consider them for any projects of my own in the future."

"Excellent job! Dave was the first to quote the job and had a better price. He came with crew on time and finished everything I'd requested in one full day as quoted! The work involved extensive tree and brush removal as well as trimming branches to open up view corridors. I wholeheartedly recommend Dave. If he quotes you a job, he will deliver."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.
