"This was a major project for us. We had them pour a concrete pad. Excavate our side and back yard to remove grass then desertscape that whole area with multiple stone sizes and colors. They did an outstanding job. They are honest, professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and. Friendly. Issues came up as they often do, but they addressed all of them with precision. We are so pleased, we have booked them for an additional project. Highly recommend you give them a try."

"They were very quick and the 6' block wall was demo'd and rebuilt in approx. 3 days. unfortunately for me, Noriega did not pull a permit for this work and I got a letter from Clark County because my HOA had reported this construction. I was very lucky that after speaking with Clark County Permit dept. they expedited and overseen that my wall was in compliance and the necessary permit paperwork was approved and properly filed. Being a board member of my HOA this caused me a great amount of unnecessary stress. This is the reason I graded them with an overall C experience and a C for professionalism...."

"We needed a full fall cleanup before the leaves got out of control. They did everything, like raking, trimming, and bagging. The yard looks ready for winter now. They even blew the leaves off the driveway before leaving."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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.
