"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

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
