"Brandon and his team built a beautiful wooden 12 x 16 deck around part of my new above-ground swimming pool, turning my pool area into an oasis. They also built a wonderful 8 x 8 foot hut for my barbecue grill. It has a safe metal roof and sits adjacent to my swimming pool, allowing me to grill hotdogs and hamburgers right there at the pool for hungry swimmers. In addition to the deck and grill hut, Brandon also professionally rebuilt my deteriorating 4-stair stairway that joined my back deck to the backyard ground level. He also built a lovely, curvy, cool-touch sidewalk joining my back deck, grill hut, and pool deck. In addition, Brandon ran an electric circuit from my main house circuit breaker panel out to the grill hut, swimming pool deck area, and the pump filter motor. I could not be happier with how everything turned out and I would no hesitate to hire him again. Biloxi Bob"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.
