"We used Premium Drainage & Erosion Solutions for a large backyard project, including the installation of french drains, new gutters and downspouts, regrading a big portion of the backyard to make it more usable, and the installation of a new paver patio. We are highly satisfied with the entire project - from initial estimate to final signoff, Adrian and his team were professional, prompt, and communicative. The team showed up on time, left our yard in great condition throughout the project, and were open to changes we thought of in between receipt of the estimate and kickoff of the work. Our backyard truly looks better than we expected going into the project - we are so happy that we decided to go with Adrian + Premium Drainage and Erosion Solutions. We will absolutely be using them for any future projects down the line and highly recommend their work to anyone in the area."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost of excavation is around $3,200. Most jobs fall somewhere between $500 and $15,000, depending on the amount of soil to remove, whether or not there are landscaping features or structures in the vicinity that could complicate the excavation, and the quality and contents of the soil. Larger jobs will naturally cost more, as will those in tight spaces that demand manual excavation as opposed to using heavy machinery. Hard soil and tree roots can also extend the job and drive up your labor costs.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.
