"I never used Angi but so glad I did. All Elements llc came to my rescue. As a disabled Veteran I can not move much and needed a recliner sofa removed quick since a new one was being delivered within a few days. Angi sent me Mike from All Elements. I called he was so accommodated and said no worries. He came with his fiancee and they were so friendly, helpful and just wonderful people. I will be hiring them again in the Spring to help with my storage unit. I knew I was in good hands and was such a relief to have met Mike. Now I can sleep better at night."

"We hired the company to just clear some underbrush and remove saplings. They came out and recommended we consider removing trees as well and gave us an incredibly affordable quote. The trees were mostly dead and posed a risk to our house and our neighborsâ houses but other estimates were way out of our financial reach. They worked until they got the whole yard cleared, left absolutely no mess behind and even removed the stumps (not grind them down but remove the whole thing). The greatest thing is they did the whole job for the same price two other companies quoted for just the underbrush and saplings, but their quote included removing 8 additional trees and stumps, trimming back branches that were hanging over our house and shed, and cutting down and removing two arborvitae. The trees were mostly pine trees that were nearly 100 ft tall! I cannot say enough good things about this company and their patience as we kept asking for more things to be done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

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

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.
