"Called for a estimate to repair a private rd with two houses on it. He came out in a timely matter and took the time to share what would be the best solution based on his experience. We hired him to build up and grate the driveway/private rd. He showed up during the time frame he said he would and built up and graded the driveway/private rd as well as pitched it so that water wouldnâ t pool. He is just a great guy with a ton of experience to help the customer make the best informed decision. Will use Faulkner for any needs we have in the future hands down."

"I found myself in a very unique and unfortunate situation that was resulting in serious fines and threats from the city. The state provided me resources to get out of this situation as it needed to be done in a timely manner and was not in the realm of most disposal companies descriptions. Through Angie's list I found this company, not only were they on the phone but they even came out and did a pre-sight inspection, they scheduled service in a timely manner and worked with us in every way they could! They went above and beyond to rescue us and provide a full service. They got the massive job done in only 2 hours, cleaned up when they left, made attempts to make the area more presentable despite weather having been the cause, and even cut some stumps and took additional waste not listed with them! 10/10 would recommend this company, provided their information to my contact at the state in this matter, and I will be working with this company again for my future needs!"

Excavating questions, 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.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
