"I needed a new control station for my Rainbird sprinkler system. I had seen Judson Irrigation vehicles around so figured they were a satisfactory firm so arranged for them to come out. On 7/9/21 they came out and checked my sprinklers out and replaced one head. They also replaced my indoor Rainbird control for 6 stations with a combo indoor/outdoor board when I only needed an indoor controller. I received a bill from them for $177 for labor (not broken down on the bill). Inn calling them this included a $58 service call; a charge of $87 for ¾ of an hour billed at a rate of $116 per hour for the main service person; and $32 for the second person billed for a half hour at $64 an hour. The $116 an hour figures out to $4,640 gross for a week. We all wish we had wages like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bill showed $332.92 for materials before tax which per their office included $252.89 for the controller; $76.58 for a module; and $3.45 for a new sprinkler head. Based on limited research, likely a cheaper source of parts is available. Likely if one is going to replace a Rainbird Sprinkler control station, one should get bids to do the project. I would not recommend Judson Irrigation for sprinkler work particularly based on their high labor charges!!!."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

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. 

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
