"Jason came out to my house and gave me a quote on the spot and we booked the date. I did everything I had to to prepare and get ready for the work then the day of the job he told me another job was booked ahead of mine- I booked this 6 weeks in advance?and the crew would be here at noon. He came over at 1:45 to see how things were going, there was no one here. He kept acting like he was calling people but they were in a dead zone with no service- long story short- nothing happened, glad I never gave him any money. But a colossal waste of my time and the job I wanted still isn?t done."

"Jason, his brother, and team did a great job of removing English ivy and shrubbery that had grown out of control in my yards Using equipment, they made swift work of the removal, added screened top soil, and reseeded with a good quality seed that began growing within a week (with rain and watering). I highly recommend this company for landscaping work. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

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.

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.
