"I am a little reluctant to share this rare gem because he might get taken away from me. Jesse came to my rescue when our neighborhood got between 4-5 ft of snow preventing any of us to leave our homes, some neighbors for over a week. I worked with Jesse for 4 days organizing 34 neighbors driveways to be plowed quickly and efficiently by grouping the neighbors addresses together and sending Jesse out everyday with a plowing itinerary. I can't tell you how grateful the neighbors were to Jesse. Some of their comments to me were, "Jesse is a bomb!" "Jesse just worked his magic and I am free to leave my house!" "Jesse is great!" "Jesse is a hard worker!". The list of praise goes on and on. 34 great reviews from neighbors in just this one review. You can't go wrong by hiring Jesse. He is a perfectionist!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

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.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
