"I contacted Josh at C3 for a quote to prepare and build a flat, level, 18' by 14' base on a slope framed with 3 levels of 6 x 6 timbers to retain 3 individual layers of premium quality aggregate for superior drainage and soil stability. His design was to insure the driest base environment to install a shed that will last far longer than other contractors I spoke with. I couldn't have been happier with my choice of C3. He and his crew were very professional and detailed in the work performed. Always on time and mindful of the surrounding work area and exceptionally detailed in their final cleanup of the site. I would recommend Josh and his company for this type of work and larger projects due to his commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction."

"Dave and his employee- Tim, were courteous and professional, during their time here working on the home project. They answered all my questions and were prompt with their arrival and kept the work site neat and safe. They were friendly and outgoing, responding quickly to texts and always keeing the lines of communication open.

It's true: A fuel tank will eventually corrode and leak. If you encounter a tank that is more than 15 years old, there is a good chance that substantial corrosion has taken place. Trust that Sterling will remove your tank with the utmost care for your property and will create a safe environment for your family. Call Sterling Environmental Services today!

"Quick and efficient. They were at my house 8am on the dot. Had to leave the oil tank with me until they could come pick it up and remove from my property after another job. They came back as they said and when they said, and removed the tank from my property. Very clean. The tank was in the basement since the house was built in 1956, after removal, it looks like there was never anything there. Respectful of my property. Laid a tarp down before they laid the cut up tank on the grass, and covered it up with the tarp. Not a drop of the removed oil anywhere. Absolute 5 star operation. Thank you to NIck for the constant communication and efficiency. - Mike Murphy"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.

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.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

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. 

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.
