We are a local Excavating Contractor that strives for customer service with a quality outcome. We specialize in: Land Clearing, Land Management (thinning out property), Grading, Drainage of all types, Retaining Walls, most all landscaping projects. We are a Veteran-Owned small business with a small tight-night hard working crew. We work hard to provide quality work that can put your mind at ease.

"I have nothing but the highest praise for Paul and his crew (Artie and James). They live up to their company name, “At Ease!” I had to fill in an in ground pool (18’ x 38’) Paul assisted/represented me w/my local municipality which had strict guidelines for residential fill, but offered no leads as to various quarries, soil testing companies and was frequently non communicative. Paul was THERE every step of the way with rapid responses, finding appropriate quarries, managed the soil testing procedures and submitted them, chose special lighter/smaller excavation equipment due to the precarious entry to my back yard and extra protective measures for our driveway. He made a complicated project simple for ME! When he couldn’t personally be on site, he was in regular communication with them (and me) and would inevitably stop by each day to see the progress made that day. I was constantly reassured of everything. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

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.

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 is no standard depth, but typically, septic tanks are buried between 4 inches and 4 feet underneath the earth’s surface. There are a few factors that will determine your tank’s depth, including the height of your bedrock, the distance between your home and the tank, and the depth of your main sewer line.
