"TimberRidge Pro did a fine job on our master bath renovation . AJ was great at offering ideas and suggestions for products to use. He actually met us at Home Depot to help us make choices! That was VERY impressive! He began our job 2 weeks early (what contractor does that?) and had all of our products ready to go. He covered all of the areas leading to the bathroom and kept the job site neat and clean. That is also a biggie, because many contractors and their helpers leave messes! Not TimberRidge Pro! They clean up their worksites as if they were their own homes. After 6 days, we had a new entire shower, vanity with lighted mirror, sink and quartz sinktop, new luxury vinyl flooring, all new lighting, a plumbing problem from the old shower resolved, a new access panel to the shower installed, and the bathroom painted nicely. We had an issue with the glass shower door. It came in defective from the supplier. AJ obtained a new shower door that was much sturdier, tore out the bad one and replaced it with a much better door. (We split the cost of the upgraded glass door). AJ honored all of the line items in our contract and totally took care of some minor things on our punch list with ease. His price was reasonable and our new master bath looks amazing! We would highly recommend TimberRidge Pro for your next bathroom project and we would certainly use this contractor again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

The average cost of excavation is around $3,200. Most jobs fall somewhere between $500 and $15,000, depending on the amount of soil to remove, whether or not there are landscaping features or structures in the vicinity that could complicate the excavation, and the quality and contents of the soil. Larger jobs will naturally cost more, as will those in tight spaces that demand manual excavation as opposed to using heavy machinery. Hard soil and tree roots can also extend the job and drive up your labor costs.
