"I hired them to excavate rock, dirt, and an old playground from my backyard. Relevel my yard. Design and intstall a drainage system that would work for my needs and install sod. They were very professional. They began the work on time and completed the project in a timely manner. They even removed dead leaves around my front porch to make my house look nice and I never imagined my backyard could look so nice. Juan was so patient with me and answered all my questions. He was honest, reassuring and upfront with the whole project. He always checked in with me during the project. If I called him with questions he would either answer the phone or get back with me within 5 minutes. The price for the project was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this company and I look forward to hiring them in the spring to trim my trees."

"Mark and his crew were great! We removed an old deck and spa from our backyard. They demolished the wood, concrete and fiberglass as well as hauling off and cleaning up behind themselves. You would have never known any demo work had happened if you weren’t there watching. Highly recommend!"

"Mr. Bobby Truett did a superb job of clearing brush, removing tree stumps, and trimming tree limbs that posed a serious danger of damaging fencing on my property. He was extremely attentive to my needs as a custimer, communicated with me very well, and paid great attention to detail. He even worked on weekends to ensure my schedule was met! I would highly recommend Bobby for any job that requires a skid steer!"

"Great Tech, he was quick and solved the problem. I only wish they had some kind of Senior Discount, the hourly rate was kinda high and my husband could have done it, but after 2 heart attacks and 2 stints, I did not want to take a chance on him hurting himself. Otherwise, they were all great people."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

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.
