"The scope was excavate, grade, and install geo fabric, and compacted gravel walkways. Jerad was great to work with. He worked non-stop until the project t was completed and was very accommodating to my requests during the process."
"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."

"I just moved to Skagit Valley and know nothing about site preparation for my new house. The wooded, 1 acre lot had been partially logged but needed more tree removal, slash burning and major debris clean up. For the bid meeting, Dennis "Boomer" Hyatt arrived at the lot a few minutes early and had already sized up the project and offered new ideas as to how to best accomplish the project within my budget. I had been told it couldn't be done and I would have to do it in stages. Another contractor had bid a much higher price. We set a work date and started work on that date. His crew showed up on time and got to work immediately. The guys obviously knew each other and worked well as a team. They got the burn pile going, cranked up the chain saws and excavator and got to work. They worked steadiy both days and got the job done. the lot is absolutely builder ready and I couldn't be more pleased. I only hope the rest of my build project goes as well. They are going to back in the spring to help me put in the yard and reconfigure the driveway. Absolute 5 stars for this business."

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help.
In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.
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.
After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.
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.
