"Great company to work with! They were extremely responsive, professional, and reliable from start to finish. I had a smaller excavation project in a partial area, and they treated it with the same attention and professionalism you’d expect on a much larger job. Everything was completed without delays, and communication was excellent throughout the process. If you’re looking for an excavation company you can count on, whether your project is big or small, I definitely recommend giving them a call!"

"Did exactly what we asked them to do - excellent work! Very happy with the job - they added a 15' pipe onto our current culvert pipe, covered it with soil and then grass seed and straw. Professional and very friendly. Would recommend you give him a call."

"Rick was a pleasure to work with. My project was a driveway expansion and gravel bases for two sheds. He listened to what I wanted and made suggestions on how that could best be accomplished. He did not try to sell me anything I didn't need. The work was done when he said it would be and it met my desired outcome."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

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.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
