"Outstanding customer service. Excellent communicator. Kept me informed about when he was available and actually offered to come a few days early since he finished another job. The job was to level a 30x40 area so I could install a large wooden swing set. There was about a 20" drop from front to back. He cut the back and filled the front so he didn't have to bring in any new fill or haul any away. This saved a lot of money. When he was done it was within a 1/2". He made sure by checking it with a rotating laser. He has new and well maintained equipment and state of the art tools. I've been in construction for 40 years. Believe me, this guy knows his stufff."

"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."

"Loved Lance, he was honest, fair, reasonable and completed the work as promised and then some. I would definitely recommend Lance to anyone needing landscaping completed. He extended our driveway back and to the side with gravel, replaced the existing railroad ties, graded previously stump grinding, tamped and added dirt around our septic risers, moved dirt to file in a ditch, and placed seed and straw down where he disturbed the ground!"

"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!"

Excavating FAQs, 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. 

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
