"I hired Jack to install over 1,500 feet of gravel road and to clear several acres of heavy brush on our property. His work is excellent and his pricing is very fair and reasonable. I am very satisfied."

"We have some property that was very overgrown with brush, thick nasty trees and old fence rows. We hired B & M Landworks to come clear it off. They were very prompt in responding and we communicated well. They finished the project in a very timely manor. We were so pleased with the work, we hired them to come again and work it over with bulldozing. He smoothed everything out so nice. He also cleared a pond a dam for us. He is willing to do anything you ask. I would definitely hire him again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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. 

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
