"The attention to detail and the price paid for the project are the two biggest factors when selecting a company for work. I highly recommend Dan Bailey and his Minnesota Grown Services company. My property has never looked this great! Thanks to Dan and his staff."

"We have had 2 projects done this summer. After putting them off due to another company's high bid, we decided to try Clark and found them to be more willing to work within our budget. The job leader took time to understand our vision and the office communication was always immediate and timely. The crew was thoughtful and did a remarkable job of keeping the inevitable lawn damage to a minimum. After long hot days, they still made sure the work area was cleaned up each time. We are very happy with the outcome and highly recommend Clark."

"Please note that the work options provided for this review did not include the work that was actually done (deck resurfacing) so I just chose any of the options. I imagine he would do an excellent job of this kind of work anyway given how well he completed my work! Fabian completed my deck resurfacing in a single day and to excellent standards; an appraisal of my home was done afterward and the work was mentioned as exceptionally and professionally done. I will absolutely hire Fabian again for any future projects in his scope as he is very friendly, professional, and fair with his pricing."

"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!"

"Hired for tree removal, block wall upgrade, remove garden, install sod, tree removal and trimming of another tree. Excellent service, and fair pricing. They cleaned up after work was done even in the street where trucks for debris were stationed. Workers worked very hard and were very nice and did a great job. Mariano, the owner was willing to help out with things I forgot to mention at the bidding process and all work completed in the designated time. I would hire them again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
