"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."

"My backyard had been dug up due to septic tank repairs. There was nothing left but ugly red mud. Dustin covered the entire backyard with Zoysia sod. He did an awesome job and was so respectful and courteous. Thank you Dustin for restoring our backyard. We are happy now that we know someone to call when we have more projects that need attention."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
