"This is the second project I have used Hunter and Low Country Landscaping and as expected, they killed it. Awesome job!!! The project included clearing, bringing in good topsoil, sodding, spreading straw and doing some fencing. It changed an average back yard into an enjoyable outdoor living space (1st stage included a fire pit and paver patio) for Entertainment. I love it."

"I highly recommend Carolina Land and Debris! They did an outstanding job removing leaves from my property. They took a considerable amount of time, never cut corners and honored the estimate they originally gave me. They had to work around bad weather and were professional and thorough from start to finish. When they were done, my yard looked better than it has in years."

"John at JB's Lawn Care did a fantastic job re-grading our backyard and installing new sod. He and his team were polite and professional throughout the process. We knew we were going to hire him after he came out to quote the job. On top of it being a very reasonable quote, he took the time to explain in detail, our different options to increase our drainage in the back yard. He was happy to quote a few a la carte options such as French drains so that we would have time to think through what we wanted to purchase. The final product came out amazing! He and his team graded out back yard, helped the soft areas firm up by bringing in some stone to mix in with the soil, and then put some more top-fill and sod over it. He adjusted the sprinklers and gave us a watering schedule to help ensure success. We'd hire them again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well.
