"I’ve hired Arc Electrical twice. The first time I needed them to re wire an outside shed and the second time I needed a dedicated breaker for a large piece of equipment. They did an excellent job both times! I have no trouble with either thing they worked on."

"Professionals!!! The best people to work with!!! I have hired them twice for 2 overgrown cutovers and both times they produced better than anticipated results, making ugly unusable land to beautiful useable land!!! They show up when they said they will or sooner and provide accurate and fair priced estimates, worth the wait if on waiting list. I will be hiring them a third time as soon as logistically possible!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

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.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
