"Jon went over up and beyond to remove a very dangerous side ditch I accidentally slid into in the winterâ ¦ tore apart a inefficient road and repositioned it with widening â ¦ excavatingâ ¦ and tree removal to offset my road and driveway up the hill in a more safe and secure directionâ ¦. He took it upon himself to bold me a much needed retaining wall thus preventing future soil erosion and trenching which could ultimately destroy parts of this property â ¦ killed off a nearby snake pit and reworked another drainage ditch making water head in an entirely different direction thus preserving my new and beautiful safe road forever Iâ m extremely happy to have been so fortunate to have come across such a reputable and trustworthy business that incorporates a lot of pride and integrity with the work he performs Jon is very talented and I am and will continue spreading around to everyone that HE IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB No hanky pankyâ ¦ no extraordinary or outrageous estimates or unexpected chargesâ ¦no lying or skirting unforeseen problems or issues to just get the job done And Iâ m not one to even give recommendations these days but for this company itâ s a definite and solid YES"

"I honestly cannot say enough good things about ERE! We were having some drainage issues in our backyard, and were worried about the integrity of our foundation. Jon contacted me within a day of my search and set up a consultation a few days later. He was super knowledgeable and understood what I wanted done, even when I couldnâ t exactly describe it. Jon was very thorough and kept me updated on everything he was going to be doing, and gave me several options when it came to budgeting and services. He and his team even went above and beyond by repairing the sprinkler lines that the previous owner had damage, at no extra cost. Our backyard now looks 100x better than before and we no longer have to worry about water draining towards our house & foundation. I will absolutely recommend ERE to everyone I know & will likely use them in the future for any of our landscaping needs!"

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
