"Last week, I hired Jason Excavating again for a driveway job to install the catch basin in front of my house. He did an excellent job. He's extremely responsible, very knowledgeable about his work, and an excellent person. I will always recommend him. He goes the extra mile in his work. I'm always grateful."

"Troy was quick to respond to our service request for a 12x22 shed pad. We found him to be extremely accommodating to our checklist, professional, and budget friendly. We were able to schedule in the project fast and the work was finished in a timely manner. Working with him was easy. He communicated with us throughout the process and left our yard clean. We highly recommend TWC Excavation & Outdoor Services and will contact him first for any future projects. Thank you, Troy! The shed pad makes our new shed look polished."

"The entire crew was friendly, helpful and dependable. They transformed my overgrown flowerbeds in the front into a mulched area ready for planting. They also identified several diseased shrubs which needed to be removed and prepared an additional bed for planting. This added a small extra cost but avoided having to call them back next year. Overall my property has a new lease on life. I can't believe the transformation. They have my business for my next landscape project!!!!"

"We have had John work on our properties many times since he was a teen. He has a strong interest in providing exceptional value and quality while taking pride in his workmanship. John later went to work for a high end design landscape company to hone his skills. He has recently started his own endeavor with Terra Verde. In June he prepared our farm landscape for our sons wedding. Highly recommend. 🌻"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

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.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
