"Buchanan Dirtworks did a great job with my gravel driveway and trailer pad. Extremely fast response time and great attention to detail working through the site plan and patience in explaining the details. Jumped on the job within a few days of agreeing to the plan and had it knocked out by the next week with daily updates on progress. One thing I particularly appreciated was the ability to nail down a plan remotely since I wasn't able to physically be on the site. Great work overall, can't wait to work with you again! Thanks!"

"We had a broken drain pipe in the crawlspace and we needed it fixed same day before we had a construction crew proceed with fixes to our crawlspace. They were out within 2 hours of calling, identified the issue and charged a very reasonable amount for the job getting done! Excellent and very nice to talk too!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

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.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
