"My first experience with Curtis/Spartan Excavating during the vetting process was absolutely incredible. As soon as I submitted an inquiry through Home Advisor, within 3 minutes, Curtis called me right away to discuss our project. We needed a rather large residential project completed. The materials we needed are below. 70 loads of 11-yard trucks of dirt 30 tons of crusher run (gravel) 70' of 36" HDPE culvert pipes Just from the materials we needed, you can tell that this is a large residential project. Curtis was able to help us in it's entirety from beginning to end. He didn't take any breaks either!! The minute we were on the phone, he was able to explain in great detail of how he would complete the job. So we scheduled a time to meet with him. We had 2 companies come out before Spartan Excavating and let me tell you - Curtis/Spartan Excavating is the guy you want to hire. The 2 companies that we vetted prior did not want to help with measuring, estimating, or calculating. Spartan Excavating was the ONLY one that did this. He stayed out for about 1-2 hours at our site to help us figure out OUR plan. He even helped us figure out how to complete other projects that we have on our mind!! Curtis from Spartan Excavating will tell you if he does not know - he does not pretend to think he knows everything. He will tell you what jobs he is comfortable with to ensure that he can deliver quality. He definitely DID NOT let us down - he stands true to his beliefs on what he can deliver. He understands the business so well and will help you understand something if you're not familiar with it! There's no need to "babysit" Curtis/Spartan Excavating as your contractor because when he says he can do it - he means it. The level of quality in his work is absolutely incredible. We look to have him as our main contractor for all site related work! Thank you for delivering the work as described!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.
