"Sean and his crew went above and beyond when it came to removing an old concrete swimming pool from our property. Sean was very prompt in calling and coming out to give a very reasonable estimate on the demolition of the pool and concrete surrounding deck. He started work on the demo immediately and did a very thorough job of removing the old pool structure and deck - he didn't fill in the old pool because he said it would hold water and our yard would always be spongey - he used a machine to hammer it into pieces and then used his excavator to load his trailer and haul the debris away. Afterwards, the restoration of the yard began. We had an unusually wet spring and it was very very difficult for Sean and his crew to backfill and grade - its impossible to grade mud. Sean went above and beyond bringing in loads of gravel to stabilize the soil so they could backfill the hole. Even though the gravel was much pricier than just using dirt, he never asked to increase his quote."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

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.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

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.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
