Within the following weeks be returned to lay stone around my home and build a fire pit where the shed used to be. When it comes to landscaping or machine work, heâ s the guy to call."

"The Fadale Team did an excellent job! Punctual, courteous and did the work that they said they would do in a timely fashion. Would absolutely hire again and again. This is the ACTUAL job discussed in the 6/6/2017 review. I am the ACTUAL customer who is VERY happy. I failed to mark a property line which led to my new drainage pipe cross the property line. This was brought to my attention by my neighbor, I spoke to the Fadale team who quickly returned a phone call and put a plan into motion to correct my error. Thank you Fadale team and sorry neighbor! Please disregard the 6/6/2017 negative review from an angry neighbor."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

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.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.
