Dillon established In-Depth Excavation in 2018 following years of experience. What started as a side job for family and friends turned into an ambitious passion and career. Dillon served on the 24-hour on-call duty rotation team for five years. At his First-panel interview he was offered an entry-level position with Alderwood Water and Wastewater District (AWWD). Dillon advanced through the ranks, exceeded qualifications, and was the youngest to be promoted to Utility Worker Lead in company history.\nIn December 2017, Dillon was presented with the Arden Blackledge “Excellence in Leadership” award which is the highest annual honor given at AWWD.\n\nHe was employed by various contractors working on storm, water, sewer mains, demo, plus grading and restoring for two years. Dillon proudly serves Western Washington and is on course for growth to establish In-Depth Excavation as a competitor in diverse markets.

"The work we had done by turnethy construction was very fast and precise, we had turnethy excavate and remove an old septic tank. Excavate and grade for the installation of a new one. Turnethy installed the new tank as per the plans. They showed up on time and came prepared. We have used him since with smaller projects and look forward to using them more in the future. Highly recommend, from a satisfied customer."

Adam was communicative, insightful, and thorough. Through each phase we have had Adam out, his work has been well done and beautifully finished. His dedication to his customers goals is felt. I would happily recommend him to friends and family."

"Loved there fnshed work. Had fifteen yards of concrete patio and a block wall bulit. They not only did great job but they spent the time doing it right. Not one crack in the concrete. They took care of dranige issues I did not even think of. Had a buddy go with a diffrent compney at the same time and his 10 yard patio is all cracked up. If you want it done right then go with Universal Landscaping."

"Dillon Excavation just completed a grading and drain system project for me on my horse property, and his work was exemplary. He was conscientious, punctual, thorough, and knowledgeable. The final cost was exactly what he quoted, and he was a pleasure to work with. Dillon’s integrity is top notch, and I’d absolutely hire him again and again."

"The dishwasher arrived earlier than was quoted becase their supplier has it in stock and delivered to them earlier. The technician took out the old dishwasher which its pump failed and is leaking water, then installed the new one, tested to make sure it works. The old dishwasher's water supply and discharge hose are unconventional, so the technician had to go buy them at a local hardware store which took extra 15 minutes or so instead of reusing them. Overall, a very pleasant experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.
