"We hired J&S Construction remodeling to repair a shed roof, steps to our wooden porch, and to install a railing on our front porch steps. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. He did a great job and quickly. We were working within a time frame and appreciate him accomplishing everything in under 3 days. His estimate for the repairs was affordable and on par with the other estimates we received. We will be hiring J&S again in the future. * I tried uploading photos but it says the file size is too large."

"Jared is extremely professional and always shows up when he says he will. He is honest about his work and genuinely wants to help with your issues in any way he can. My yard had a ton of standing water after it would rain. Jared came back several times to find the right solution for this yard. He ended up installing 6 drains in the yard and we can already see a HUGE improvement after rain. He has checked in on us several times since the installation. If you are looking for any type of grading or drain work look no further! I would definitely recommend Tennessee Property Enhancers and would use them again should I need any further work done. It is hard to find an honest company that sticks to their word. I had several other people not show up or provide inaccurate information before I spoke with Jared. I felt his pricing was fair and he completed the job in a timely fashion. I couldn't ask for a better professional to work with to fix this issue. Thank you Jared and Tennessee Property Enhancers!"

"I hired these guys to clear off my land to build my home. They cleared the land, installed a septic, built my house pad, built my driveway, and placed my water line & underground electric. These guys were phenomenal. I would recommend them to everyone needing some work done!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

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.

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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.
