"Slade and his assistant Rob did an excellent job from start to finish. Slade gave an honest evaluation and quote for what the job would entail. He brought a small excavator, the perfect tool for the job, and he expertly operated it, never once hitting or damaging the brand new PVC fence that was very close to the 110’ long work area. They were kind, respectful, skillful, and thorough. Hopefully I will never need his services again but Slade will be the first person I call if I ever do!"

We work extremely hard for the owner and always have the owner's best interest at heart. Our long term vision is for us to become a go to general contractor with capabilities to do multiple types of projects.

"They did a great job. They came to fix a leaking toilet bowl and it actually had to be replaced. They picked up the new toilet bowl and supplies and finished the job. Elite was reliable and professional. The cost was reasonable. I am hiring them again to fix the plumbing in my other bathroom."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.
