"Jeff and his crew did a fantastic job installing a walking path with granite steps to our dock. It’s on very steep terrain and had difficult access. Multiple other contractors passed on the job because of the challenges. Jeff worked two weeks straight and got the job done on time and on budget. Very happy and would absolutely recommend him."

"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!"

"Excellent job by John and Jacob! They responded so quickly and actually completely the job on the same day of the initial contact. They were professional and very thorough. Everything was completed in less than two hours. We could not be more pleased and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to seal coat their driveway."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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 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.
