"Frank's crew expanded my driveway footprint, built beautiful stone retaining walls, and finished the job with the best paving work I have seen. A tip of the hat to the crew that was hard working and polite, and who worked through the extremely hot weather of late late August. Best Value out there. Thanks for the great work!"

"Tom and his team were excellent to work with. They really guided me throughout the entire process with my project. From the clearing, excavation and grading to the septic installation, they did a spectacular job for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again."

"Last spring I decided to build a new stone patio and kitchen and selected Elite Development to do our project. They were not the cheapest but it was clear to us that these guys know what they are doing. From layout, to construction, to final turf and plantings they knocked it out of the park. Could not be happier and would not hesitate to hire them again. Alan F"

"ProPavers did an excellent job. We hired them for 3 projects. They put pavers down in the front and back and built a huge retaining wall on the side of our property and everything turned out beautiful. He did exactly what he said he was going to do for the exact price he originally quoted. Very pleasant to work with."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.
