"Great Experience. Energetic young man that arrived on time and was excellent with his coordination of razing the structure and having the debris picked up immediately. Great logistics! Already neighbors have commented how great the area looks and Property Manager has added him to our list of vendors."

"We worked with Jared to renovate our laundry room and sunroom, which included adding them to our houseâ s HVAC, significant plumbing and electrical updates, adding cabinetry, as well as all new cosmetics (tile, paint, wallpaper, etc.) and appliances. We love how the space turned out and that it really feels like a cohesive part of our home now. Their work is high quality, and communication was clear with fast response time. We would definitely recommend!"

"We hired Charlotte Stump & Land to remove an old, overgrown landscape bed that had gotten completely out of control, and they did an awesome job. Mike was very responsive when I first left a voicemail. They removed all the bushes, plants, old edging, and cleaned everything up so we could start fresh. They showed up on time, worked hard, and treated our property like it was their own. I was honestly surprised by how clean everything looked when they finished. There wasn’t a pile of debris left behind or a mess to deal with. I have found it’s been hard to find contractors who actually communicate well and do exactly what they promise, but these guys did. Their pricing was fair, work was above and beyond, and they were super easy to talk to, schedule with, and ensured my yard looked exactly as I wanted. I’d definitely recommend Charlotte Stump & Land and will be using them again for future landscaping projects."

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"Hired Mendoza Trimming to straighten a tree, apply mulch, replace rose bushes and trim some overgrown bushes. Had to be flexible on which day work was completed, but once that day came, he had a team of five or six workers show up and perform the work. They did FANTASTIC job. Cleared all leaves before applying new mulch, trimmed bushes to the size I asked, put roses in as I asked, took away all the debris, and the property looks great. Price was higher than I originally expected, but after seeing the crew and work, felt that I got a great value. Sorry for night photos, that's all I could take while submitting this review tonight."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

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.
