Travis Wilson founded Wilson Construction in 2011, and he has been working in the excavation trade since 2004. We primarily serve the Knox County area, but we consistently work in the surrounding Lincoln and Waldo Counties. We take pride in doing high quality work and hiring skilled workers who enjoy what they do, whether that is lawn care, stonework, or excavation. We put out a better product because of our employees. Many of our customers and subcontractors have told us that they can’t believe our attention to detail and how meticulous we are. Our initial off-hand response was, “There’s only one way to do things, and that’s the right way.” In hindsight, that’s been our motto from the beginning, and it has since become our unofficial slogan. We pride ourselves on producing high quality work in a timely manner. We approach each new project with fresh eyes and an open mind to do what best suits the property and the customer.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

The cost to dig a trench ranges from $400 to $1,200 per 100 linear feet, depending on the soil, depth, and width. Plan to spend $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching (it’ll be on the higher end if you have rocky soil). Renting a trencher costs $100 to $250 per hour, depending on the type of trencher.
