"Simply put, they are The Best. Responded right away, helped with my vision for several projects that included brickwork (beautifully done!) around front beds, new cedar fence and gate and old fence removal, and most importantly a flower garden to memorialize my husband. They completed all of that in record time and for a really great price. Xavier and his Awesome Crew will get whatever job you have done, with care, communication and professionalism."

"Britt Holland was professional, courteous and proved the person for the job. We had numerous problems with our plumbing from the previous plumber. Britt repaired all the issues and found other issues that would have caused problems. His work was great and no further issues. He’s the guy I will call immediately for any plumbing problem. Great job"

"Cheryl was great to work with. Very professional and responsive and I would definitely hire again and/or recommend to friends and family. Rated "good" on punctuality because of a little delay in getting all the debris picked up."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.

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.
