"They came out to winterize my irrigation system the same day I called them â that was impressive! Found a couple of things that concerned them and took photos and sent me a text explaining the concerns. Also very impressive. I will use them again for sure."

"Matt made it easy to get our landscaping overhaul. He got back to us quickly to provide a quote, recommended low- maintenance plants, removed all of the old mulch and dead plants, dug up stumps, trimmed trees and plants, replaced drip hoses, placed filter fabric, and spread mulch. He and his team did a great job. No issues, good communication, and trustworthy."

"My family has been in the general contracting business for 70 years. I understand the goal of any good contractor is to exceed the expectations of those he serves. My experience with Preston was exemplary of that goal. I would recommend his service to anyone looking for a quality excavator or landscaper, honest, fair, reliable, and timely service."

"We recently hired JH Concrete to pour a patio in our backyard, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial estimate to the final cleanup, their team was professional, punctual, and easy to work with. They took the time to properly prepare the area, paid attention to every detail, and delivered a high-quality finished product that exceeded our expectations. The patio looks fantastic and has completely transformed our outdoor space into an area our family can enjoy for years to come. The crew worked hard, communicated well throughout the project, and kept the job site clean and organized. If you're looking for a reliable concrete contractor who takes pride in their work and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend JH Concrete. Their craftsmanship, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
