"Too Tall was very polite, professional, dependable, and reasonably priced. He did a great job in repairing my yard and reseeding it. My yard was a total disaster after having a new septic drain system installed late in February. The company (Benjamin Franklin Plumbing)that I had hired to replace my drain field was supposed to return my yard back to normal but failed to do so. They are plumbers, not landscapers. I hired Too Tall to come in and re-excavate and reseed my yard. It took him less than 4 hours to complete this and did an excellent job. The grass is now coming in nicely and my yard is smooth and will be very easily mowable. I am very pleased with his work and would highly recommend him to others."

I have been in road construction for 13 years and have a full time job. I have a 1.5 ton excavator that I own myself that I can do smaller landscaping jobs with on the side I.e. land clearing, ditch cleaning/clearing, or small junk removal. I also have a couple of lawn mowers and weed eaters as well as chainsaws

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
