"Had a backup a few days before and wanted to determine if it was a simple clog or cesspool related. They sent out a tech (Jimmy) the same day. He located both cesspools and walked me through my options. He was honest and patient, answering all my questions along the way."

"I hired American Elite Contractors Inc to renovate my Apartment. Eric walked me through the process. Eric and his crew were very prompt, efficient, respectful and extremely professional. I would give Eric and his crew more than 5 stars if I could. They gave me the best price and their quality of work is definitely worth the money. I highly recommend them."

"

The Junk in My Trunk crew called us early on the day of the appointment to let us know when they would arrive and to confirm directions.  They showed up when they were expected and cleared out all the unwanted items in the house.  They were cooperative and cordial throughout the process, and cleared out items including mattresses, sofas and couches, and a refrigerator that was in the basement.  They filled every inch of the 12-yard truck and as a result I felt that I got very good value for the price.  I would not hesitate to use this service again or recommend them.

"I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have a pool excavation done in my backyard! From start to finish, the entire process exceeded my expectations. Steven was prompt, professional, and incredibly skilled. Steve and his team took great care to ensure minimal disruption to the surrounding area and completed the project on time. The excavation itself was impressive—everything was done with precision, and the site was left clean and tidy afterward. It’s amazing to see how much more space I have now, and I’m already making plans for how I’ll transform the area. Whether it’s for a new landscape, outdoor seating, or just more room to enjoy my backyard, I feel like the possibilities are endless. If you’re considering pool excavation or any type of excavation job I highly recommend high idle excavation It’s a game changer for your outdoor space, and I’m so glad I took the leap!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.
