"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

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.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

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.
