"Taz construction did a outstanding job on our retaining wall and refreshed our hill with new plants and mulch. They cleaned up after the project was completed, along with doing extra work around the site. We will have them back on any further work we need done."

"I called Colton on a Wednesday, he came and looked at my driveway on Friday. He was super easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and accommodating. He explained my options and helped me decide the best option for my situation. He came the next Thursday and completed the job in one long, hard worked day. He did a great job and I would give him 10 stars if I could."

"Dan was very professional. He was easy to deal with. He cleaned up everything after himself even out into the hall. I needed some fast service and he made sure he got to my project the very next morning. He is someone I would like to have come back to home and do other projects. I highly recommend this company."

Customers say: Quality work

"Had a mess in my backyard along the river and a overgrown firepit. Curtis transformed the riverbank and installed a series of incredible steps going down to the river. Next he took the old firepit and created a new one with crushed granite. Now a perfect backyard setting. Would be glad to share before and after pictures."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
