"Smoky Top Contractor is a great crew! I needed some land cleared and concrete poured for a house. They moved quickly from the process of quoting, doing the job, and cleaning up! They are very fairly priced as well. I will definitely be giving them a call for my next project !"

"Clayton is the best out there. In a time where just getting someone to show up is half the battle, he goes above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things. He kept us updated on the timing of our project. The construction field is very busy at the moment, but he made sure to let us know when plans had to change due to weather and supply issues. He accepts nothing less than perfection and left our property spotless, unlike contractors in the past."

If you are looking for a a retaining wall, hardscape/landscape project, driveway or concrete work, give Ryan a call."

"We needed some landscaping clean up on the front of our home. I work in construction management and work with all the trades. We truly appreciated Jorge’s kindness and work ethic. I’m happy to say he is taking over our lawn service permanently. He did a job that was truly above and beyond! It looks phenomenal and the grass is cut perfectly! If you’re thinking about hiring or getting a quote from anyone, reach out to this company first!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

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.

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.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

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.
