"The crew was friendly and helpful. They worked with me to make sure the system of French drains I had put in worked for me and the regrading work was amazing. At first i had thought i might be able to do it my self, but the amount of clay in the soil made that impossible, but A+ Equipment Services made easy work of it and got it done quickly."

"I hired the Dream Green folks to weed my flower beds, trim bushes and generally care for all aspects of my yard except for the grass. They did a wonderful job. They were very thorough and meticulous with every aspect of what I asked them to do. I am quite pleased with Dream Green and plan on working with them for the foreseeable future."

"Everything was done professionally and they worked with us by communicating and pointing out issues as they came about. We will definitely use them again on our next round of repairs . Very reasonably priced. Did a lot of small jobs for us but everything turned out just great!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
