"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."

"Terrafirma reached out promptly, set up a time to visit the property and provide a quote. The project was to install a french drain from our gutters to the front of yard. We had an idea, but they provided another idea that was much better. They arrived on the day agreed upon, completed the project, added additional grass seed, watered and cleaned up. I also asked about another project I had, and they completed that in the same day for a very fair price!! Highly recommend!"

"I couldn’t recommend this landscaping company more! From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and seriously talented. They took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and turned my vision into something even better than I imagined. The attention to detail really stood out—everything from the layout to the finishing touches was done with so much care. They showed up on time, communicated clearly, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. My yard looks completely transformed, and I’ve gotten so many compliments already. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely takes pride in their work and delivers amazing results, this is the one to go with!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

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. 

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.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
