"Mr. Lown did a great job trenching my yard for sprinkler install. He went above and beyond to help me and not damage anything. I will be using Lown Performance again in the near future."

"they came up to give me an estimate and once we agreed on the estimate we setup a time for the next day to fix the busted pipe and change the valve due to being so close to the busted area of the pipe. they showed up on time and after the fix they made sure the pipe was not leaking. they were professional, courteous, punctal and reasonably priced. I recommend them to anyone and will definitely call on them again if needed to."

"I have had an awful time getting my lawn done since my lawnmower broke. I have had 3 separate men and do my yard, each one was a disaster! I remembered angies list off of and ad and called. Paul call within 10 minutes and set a time to come and give me a quote on doing my yard. I agreed to price and he came with his crew the next day. They went far and beyond what I expected. So much so I have them coming back to do deep shrubbery cutting and flower bed clean up. I have also set up for them to start lawn maintenance for a year. Highly recommended them, they will not disappoint."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
