"Tanner did a great job clearing our land of blackberries and piling all the downed trees up, leveling the soil and making our property so much more accessible and usable! He was very nice and polite and understood exactly what we wanted. We will hire him again for the next phase of our project!"

"Ken gave me great confidence when he came out in the pouring rain to bid my job. Where others thought that land clearing would be difficult, Ken saw no problem with pulling down trees from slopes and cleaning up after someone had already cut logs on my property. He promised the work would be done in a week. After me and every friend and relative I could wrangle into it spending every evening and weekend for two months doing the work that his team could have done in a week, I only wish I had taken him up on his bid. He sent me photos and references when he bid. And everyone I spoke with had terrific things to say about his company s work. If I had to do it over again, and I hope I never do, I would go with KP Transport and Excavation first."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

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.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.
