"these youngsters were polite and wasted no time. Repairs to the outside door base, kitchen wall and ceiling and the bathroom wall plastering and painting turned out great. the price was right. I will bring them back in the spring for two more projects. Joe R Depew N.Y."

"We had a concrete sidewalk, back patio and driveway pad prepped and poured to replace our flagstone areas. L&M Excavation did an expert job throughout the hot long workdays. There were plenty of obstacles to navigate with large equipment and loads of materials but everything was put back in order by the end of the job. Definitely would recommend this crew for your concrete projects."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
