"WOW!! Itâ s so rare to find a company that exceeds your expectations, but this was our experience from start to finish with Carolina Grading & Land Clearing! Tim & Alisa are a dynamic duo, good communicators, punctual and have a great team of motivated, professional workers. Gary, the lead on our project, was phenomenal! He listened to what we were hoping to accomplish on our land, offered suggestions and then followed through to masterfully transform our property! There is no doubt due to their accumulative expertise in land development the money we spent for land clearing and grading not only made our property more usable, but it greatly increased the overall value of our property. Talk about a WIN-WIN! Thank you Carolina Grading team!!"

"Brad contacted me, met with me as planned. Looked at the job, gave me a quote, we set the date and time. He was in constant contact with me because of weather delays. The day of the job, Brad and crew arrived on time and prepared for the job. He completed the job ahead of schedule. They even did some extra work at no extra charge. Very professional and super nice group of guys. Already have him looking at my next project."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

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.
