"I had a HUGE job that required not only excavation but putting everything back and grading everything the way it should have been. I have worked with enough contractors in my lifetime to know that a job rarely gets done without a couple of issues coming up here and there. I expect that. The most important thing is how the company responds to those issues and how they handle them. I was blown away with not only how well the owner responded but the compassionate attitude he AND his crew showed throughout the process. Now THAT is the true difference between a good company and a great company!"

"Allavance was one of the best companies I've dealt with in a while. I'm not easy to please so the experience was extremely pleasant and helpful. They were thorough, professional, timely and completed tasks as stated. Andre and Kellie were my sales agents, who walked me thru everything detail of my project and stuck with the plan. They responded back to my text over a holiday weekend, not expected. I had a light transformer that I purchased, which later I discovered was defective, they came back after the project was completed and replace the old with the new. Based on my previous experience with other trade type companies, this company out performed the others by leaps and bounds. I'll definitely call them for any additional work required in the future and I've already referred them to several of my friends. This was a definite win win for all involved."

"Ground Control Property did an excellent job. They were here on time, with the right tools and equipment. The work crew worked as a team, to get the job done on time, and within the quoted price. I would recommend this company to others. I am calling them back for more tasks that need to be done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
