"We have hired Joel at Leatherneck Land Clearing to complete multiple projects around our homestead and couldn’t have been happier with the outcomes! We originally contracted them to assist with clearing and grading a section of land to build a 40’ x 60’ building. Throughout the process he was extremely patient with us as we changed our mind more than once on the location of the building site due to unforeseen circumstances and even helped guide us to achieve the best outcome possible. We were so pleased, we hired him again shortly after to thin and mulch a few acres of overgrown woods on the property and it completely transformed the landscape. We have recommended them to family and friends and will definitely be hiring them again in the future to help with more around our property. If you need quality work done, they are not only affordable but extremely communicative and I truly am glad we found them!"

The crew transformed my yard completely—everything from trimming to planting was done with care and precision. They also made sure to clean up thoroughly after the job. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality landscaping services"

"Sway is very conscientious. He arrived early every day, prepped well for all the popcorn ceiling removal and painting. Each day he cleaned his work area. Best part of him is his positive attitude and communication with me if he had questions ( before he took action!). Reasonably priced and I will use his services again when needed."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.
