"We couldn’t be happier with the work Edras and his crew did on our new home! From start to finish, they went above and beyond and truly exceeded our expectations. Edras was incredibly easy to communicate with, reliable, professional, and made sure everything went exactly as planned. We actually knew we wanted to work with Edras after seeing the beautiful work he did on my aunt’s house. After seeing the quality of his work firsthand, we knew we could trust him with our home—and he did not disappoint! We also had a major issue with a leak coming from the exterior of our house, and Edras and his team handled it professionally and thoroughly. They took the time to identify the problem and make sure it was properly addressed. The entire crew was hardworking, respectful, and took pride in what they were doing. We are so happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Edras and his team to our closest family and friends. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to do quality work"

"I hired Panaro for several projects, including the installation of a patio, walkway and steps as swell as grading and sod installation. They were top notch in all respects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

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.
