Chris Cory Excavation, LLC is a locally owned and operated business serving the Canby and surrounding Portland Metro areas. I have over 20 years of experience in residential and small commercial excavating and take pride in all our work, big or small. I listen to what the customer wants and having overseen and executed thousands of jobs gives me a unique level of experience to make suggestions to help fit their budget. A happy customer is a return customer, and that is what we want. We can do any excavating project you need so give me a call and we can talk about your current project needs. Please note I have a minimum charge of $1000 to do a project.\n\nPlease note that we are not a consulting service. We are not a landscaping company, so we are not geared to do hand labor, most of the work we perform is done by excavators. If you are looking for just budget numbers on a future project we charge a fee of $100. Please consider this before you do an instant match to us, thank you.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.
