"Cornman Concrete and Paving completed a very large rear patio removal and replacement. Our property wasn't the kindest for access to the area, however, they worked with it. Jeff was attentive from the first meeting to estimate to the last handshake upon completion. It took a while because of weather interruptions but they never put us behind when they started our job when it worked to keep it moving. The project involved 2 very large flat areas and two stamped concrete concave steps. They construct to last - top quality. They overdo so they don't have to re-do is a true statement. All turned out GREAT!! Very pleased with the finished project. The crew arrived on the first day and moved a gazebo to start the job and returned to help re-place it when all was set. Truly take pride in customer relations and leaving a job as I think they would want it left if at their own residence. We would highly recommend giving them a try. We won't hesitate to call them back for other projects beyond our abilities."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.
