"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."

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.
