"Baker Septic Systems did an excellent job for us replacing our old septic system with a new aerobic system. Our property is on solid rock and Bill Baker and his crew got the job done without any problems. Honest, punctual, and professional. Excellent quality work and reasonable prices. Strictly adhered to all Covid-19 guidelines. My neighbor also had him put in a system and he was extremely pleased also. Highly recommend!!!"

Steve Fey & his crew went beyond my expectation on my latest backyard project. The low maintenance & safe design will help save me time & money. My steep terraced beds needed a great sturdy solution & Steve Fey came up with a creative plan for an attractive raised bed design. I can't wait to host a party."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

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.
