"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

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

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.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
