"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."

"If you're looking for quality work, Jake is the person to call! I hired him to install a drainage system for my sump pump, connecting it to the city's drain tile in my front yard. He was punctual for the estimate and managed to schedule the job quickly. When the day came, he arrived fully prepared with all the necessary materials. Throughout the process, Jake went above and beyond, even addressing additional issues that arose along the way. He's already working on an estimate for another project - replacing my driveway - and I won't hesitate to hire him again. With On Point Excavation, you can count on excellent results!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.
