"Don and his workers were amazing. I was hit very suddenly last year with a chronic illness and can no longer carry anything heavy and I have extreme reactions to any sort of mold or allergen. With my fiancee working mandatory overtime for the last 7 months, our trash had built to a level where we couldn't catch up. Don and two workers came in and not only cleared out all of the trash bags on our porch, but also bagged up stuff from the house, and took old furniture that we've been trying to figure out how to get out to the curb for months. In less than 2 hours, they completed something that had been hanging over our heads for almost a year. It feels amazing! Don's customer service went above and beyond as well. He came and did a free estimate a couple days before the cleanup where we showed him everything that needed done. When he arrived with his crew, he double checked with me to make sure it was all still the same, and when they finished, he took my fiancee from room to room asking if they had removed everything we wanted him to rather than just telling us he'd finished up. He even sprayed Febreze on the porch for us. I 100% recommend D&J Excavating for any kind of trash, junk, or appliance removal. The pricing was reasonable, the service was quick and efficient, and Don made sure we were fully happy with the job."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.
