"It is probably an understatement to say that our septic project was a much bigger and more difficult project than we anticipated. Due to county requirements and delays, the project cost more and took longer than expected. But the trust we invested in Cory Calhoun of Quality Septic and Excavation was in our estimation well repaid in the quality of his work. We appreciate his good communication, skillful excavation, and especially, his perseverance in negotiating the challenges of a compact lot, sophisticated equipment (including a county-required "level-2" treatment unit) and capricious county inspectors. And he finished so well! In the end, his above-and-beyond help with landscape restoration under the pressure of our looming real estate deal was especially generous and appreciated. (I couldn't have moved all those boulders without his help!) And the finished project is beautiful!--so well-graded and restored after the chaos of the new system excavation and installation. Cory lives up to the name of his company!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

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.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.
