"Bullseye Excavating, is a class act companyif anyone is looking to have a pond dug, I highly recommend this Company. BILL came and looked at my pond sight, and instantly told me by the lay of the land that my pond could be larger if I wanted so , I told Bill I would like it to be as large as possible. Bill and his crew designed a beautiful pond for me with a small spring fed po.d feeding the larger acre and half pond. I could not be any happier! Thank you Bill,Grandpa, and Kevin! I"

"Trey called right away when inquired about a fiberglass in ground pool removal. They got the dumpster there that night and the next day the pool was removed. They went above and beyond. It was a team effort between the 2 of them. Everything was done by Monday night. Trey even leveled it pretty good. Thank you both very much. I canâ t say enough about this couple."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
