"Josh was very thorough with his work; Conscientious, and a hard worker. The project came in a little above the original estimate, but that’s only because we added more work to it. Josh suggested that we consider getting our paver stone patio pressure washed and sanded, so we had him do that and the retaining wall and had him apply sealer. The area looks fantastic!"

"Hired them in spring 2026 for a boulder ramp and grass seeding (about 360 sq ft), roughly $6,500 total. Two issues with the work. The topsoil they filled has since settled into a low spot deep enough that it's hard to push a mower across ? a grading issue that affects everyday use. And the grass they seeded was dead by early summer, within months of the install. They came back out and agreed to fix it by reseeding. I took that as standing behind the original work, so I was surprised when they sent a $400 bill for it ($250 labor, $150 seed and straw) ? essentially full price for a brand-new seeding job that size. I offered to pay the $150 for materials and asked them to cover the labor as making good on the install. I never received a reply after 10 days. The project price was reasonable, but the finish quality and the after-the-fact service didn't match it. If you hire them, get grading and finish expectations in writing up front."

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.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

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.
