"We had them remove a large amount of dirt and weeds from our side yard, and then add some mulch and gravel. They did a wonderful job and were very fairly priced compared to other quotes. I have referred them to others and definitely will be using them again."

"We recently hired Mountain Creek Iron L.L.C. to demolish an old shed in our backyard, and they did an absolutely fantastic job! From start to finish, they were highly professional, efficient with reasonable price. Not only did they tear down the shed and leave the area perfectly neat and tidy, but they also went above and beyond by hauling away some extra trash and green waste in our backyard. We are so grateful for their hard work and will definitely be using their services again in the future. If you need any demolition or hauling work done, look no further!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
