""ABSOLUTELY SUPERB" - Ken and Rowen were contracted to install Round River Rock Stone along approximately 180 feet (both sides) of my driveway. Ken promptly answered my request for an estimate. The next day he arrived to view the job and was very thorough about understanding my expectations for the project, He offered advice and is very knowledgeable about how to do top quality work. After my reviewing other estimates my decision was to go with McAdams Excavating, Ken and Rowen arrived as promised and quickly began meticulous work. Material was excavated to provided a 3 inch depth of stone, landscape fabric was installed, finally the stone. The duo were meticulous in all facets of this project and it looks absolutely gorgeous! Do not hesitate to hire this company!!!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

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.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
