"Ben and his crew did a GREAT job felling and removing 4 dead post oak trees from our property. He dug out the stumps versus grinding them, giving us a perfectly clean slate, was on time, pleasant to work with and did what he said he would do. The quote was very reasonable too. We are very happy with the work and would use BTJ again."

"Exceptional professional service. I was skeptical this company could deliver all that they promised, as I was still smarting from a $10,500 chip seal done by another company that was a complete failure. They made a driveway 20' wide spanning to 40' wide and over 100' long. Also fixed 600' existing driveway. They also leveled pad site for the new home. Mr. Sardis Sr has over 40 years experience in building roads, and his son about 20 years. It shows in the quality of work. They own all equipment and trucks. I have NEVER seen a crew work harder. Quality caliche base from almost 100 miles away and pea sized millings. Each haul ranged 18 tons to 21 tons. Leveled a layer of base and sprayed with water. Then, a skid steer on rubber tracks compacted with a heavy roller. Another layer of base and more compacting. Then millings and compacting again. Mr. Sardis came back next day and rolled entire drive one more time. Left saying they would return to fix anything I wasn't happy about."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables. 

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.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
