"Great job and service! We had a emergency and needed somebody there asap. We had other contractors that couldn't do their job until the dirt Hillside was removed . He was there within the hour! Got the job done quick and efficiently and the other contractor was able to get started. Thanks for all your help!!!"

"I hired BH for a large project (>22$K) to dig out around 28 by 48 garage, remove at least a ~half dozenâ large (>30â diameter) hardwood stumps and felled timber, and build large parking area. BH has the services of several very talented workers who listened to what I wanted and were able to use their knowledge of grading, etc. to make it all come together. The finished project is way better than what I had envisioned going in. The only â problemâ we ran into was a company (that I will not name) that charged $900 more than what they quoted on the rental of a large 50K# rock hammer - oh well, guess that is on rental company who will not be getting return business, IIn summay, yes I would highly recommend BH: A+++ !"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.
