"I knew my road project was a challenge, so I searched and selected the right company to handle the job. I was not disappointed with my choice. I highly recommend ACP Equipment and Services for the following Customer Service reasons: Sarah and Cody promptly returned all phone calls. They followed-up with and never minimized any of my questions or concerns. Consistent communication with the same people allowed me to recognize their names, and view them as my highly reliable team. Drew shared his depth of knowledge, which assisted me by clarifying the ins and outs of the processes involved and the project expectations (meaning he identified and addressed my knowledge gaps so I would not expect something they could not deliver). Drew was so patient with me! The final project outcome met all expectations with high quality results. There was no over promise and under deliver. The project cost was very fair and competitive. Drew offered future recommendations and solutions to resolve issues that were not budgeted for in the initial project plan, and I appreciated the insight and will consider this in the future. Overall, I would hire ACP again in a heartbeat, because they are in the business of helping people. Nothing but praise from me."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

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.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
