"Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and very informative. John explained the excavation and power rake process step by step and even explained the process and specifications of concrete contractor requirements after his completion. Really enjoyed having John and Amber as my excavator. I would highly recommend this John Kahl and Amber, BossHogg Industries."

"I contacted Austin about clearing some property for a new garage I was building. The same day I contacted him he came out to look at my project. We discussed the plan and he quoted me a great price. Soon after, he started on the work and did an excellent job clearing the trees, shrubs and stumps from the area. Once clearing was completed, he leveled the area and then, dumped gravel to make a solid foundation for my concrete pad. Austin had some great suggestions like using #3 gravel then 57’s on top to prevent the pad from sinking into the ground. I’m highly pleased with the outcome of his work and will continue to hire him for more jobs in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
