"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."

"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

Excavating FAQs, 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.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.
