"Called Bryan on a Friday and he came out on Saturday for an estimate. Job included finishing prep on an area previously started and never finished by another contractor, pouring concrete to which he added a color chosen by me, and stamping a stone-like texture, then sealing. Because he had a delay on a job scheduled for Monday, he said he could have his crew there around 8 am to start and would probably finish in a day. I agreed and at 8 am Monday a crew of 4 plus Bryan were at my home to begin. In less than 8 hours, they had the patio poured and stamped. They returned Tuesday to seal the concrete. Extremely prompt and reliable as well as professional. Would definitely recommend Keystone Concrete and Bryan to anyone for a concrete project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.

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.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

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.
