"I live in Greenland and our house is about 25 years old. Over the last 2 years, we noticed that some lawn depressions were forming on the side of the property that borders protected wetlands managed by The Nature Conservancy. Concerned about the increasing size of these depressions over time, we contacted John Welch, the owner of JWs Landscape Construction. John followed up immediately with a site visit and opinion that the cause of the depressions was burial of tree stumps and other debris when the contractor cleared the lot to build the house. John quickly provided us with an estimate to excavate and remove the trunks and return the lawn to its original condition. John and his team did an excellent job. It was amazing how many tree stumps had been buried in this area. We also have a lawn sprinkler system and his team was very careful about ensuring there was minimal disruption to the lines and heads. His knowledge about these sink holes proved valuable as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone who suspects they have this issue occurring on their property."

"I posted on Angi and Matt responded immediately and was friendly and professional. He made an access entry from the original basement wall into my addition. There was little to no cleanup for me after! Job well done to Matt and Dickie. I highly recommend Smithtown Landworks."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
