"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 do both commercial and residential projects. No job is too big or too small.

"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

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. 

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

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.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.
