"The owner (Jake) came out to my ranch and quoted draining, clearing and expanding an existing 1 Acre pond/tank. He explained the size we could achieve by replacing the existing dam and capturing additional drainage. This was the third bid I received and were all within 10%. However the other two bids would have left me with a cleaned out, mud free 1 acre pond, and Jakes bid left me with a 3.7 acre 14 foot deep lake. After he completed the first existing pond/tank on my ranch I had him move on to another old existing tank/pond for cleaning and expansion. After completing the second 2 acre lake, I had him dig a new lake in a far corner of the ranch that caught run off that we were losing. This one ended up being 1.7 acres and has ended up being a duck magnet. We donâ t live there full time and jake did a great job of sending pictures and calling every other day to give updates. All the spillways were lined with rock that he saved from the excavation. Since all the lakes have been completed, I have had him freshen up and regrade some ranch roads, and clear pasture and fence lines. Would recommend him for any dirt project"

"This company is the greatest. They installed a complete new septic system for me while I was gone. They treated my wife extremely well, they worked well into the night by tractor light just to get the job completed. If anyone need a septic service these are the people to have do the work. The price was fair and not surprises. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

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.
