"I can’t thank the team enough for the care and compassion they showed while scheduling (thanks to Taylor) and completing the outside job for me (Brian was doing all the hard work). What felt overwhelming and stressful at first was handled with such professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail that it truly made a difficult situation much easier to bear. They responded quickly and worked on a fast, efficient schedule, which I greatly appreciated. The area was left clean, safe, and beautifully restored. I’m deeply grateful for their hard work and would wholeheartedly recommend their services. Thank you, B&K!"

"I highly recommend DHI Team. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. The quality of their workmanship exceeded my expectations, and they paid close attention to every detail. They communicated clearly throughout the project, showed up on time, stayed on schedule, and delivered exactly what they promised. It's rare to find someone who combines excellent craftsmanship with outstanding customer service, but they did just that. I couldn't be happier with the final result and would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to family and friends. If you're looking for someone who is honest, skilled, and takes pride in their work, this is the contractor to choose. They are my preferred go to guy. I had them work on my property for roofing and flooring as well as renovation."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
