"It went very well. Excavated the top soil and installed and compacted 6inches of pit run and capped with a few inches of 1-1/4" gravel. They cleaned up all the shoulders and made the driveway look like it had always been there. Very professional job."

"We were very pleased with the work done by Universal Landscape. We had a large brick paver walkway put in, a firepit added and a natural rock wall installed. They were on time, on budget and the quality of their work was exceptional. We would definitely recommend them to others."

"Water used to flow out of our field, down our driveway and next to the house during the rainy winter months. Dillon and team came out to install a French drain the length of the drive and a drain pipe under it to the other side, where the water would naturally flow down the other field to the creek. Even though the outflow drain is higher than the lowest point of the drive's French drain, Dillon knew exactly how to install the pipes. Dillon was extremely knowledgeable, transparent in fair costs and time, excellent with communication, and his crew was quick, nice and amazingly skilled with a backhoe. Since the rains started up, our constant water flow is now wonderfully pouring out the pipe exit and away from the driveway and house. Absolutely worth it and I highly recommend In Depth Excavation."

"Aces Four did an excellent job both before and during the installation. When the job just before ours was hung up, they kept us informed of the delay and gave us daily updates as to when they could start our job. The initial contract was for ~60 feet and when the actual installation turned out to be ~90 feet, they owned the mistake and did not charge for the difference. They re-graded the area per our request and used the left-over gravel on our path. They even swept the area where the pea-gravel had been staged. There one thing that didn't go absolutely perfectly, was minor. The sub-contractor, who did the septic tank pumping, damaged a blueberry bush and left our hose spray nozzle in the excavation where, if I hadn't seen it, it might very likely have been buried. Other than that, considering that this was a case of a failing septic system, the whole experience went very well. I would definitely hire Aces Four again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

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.

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.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
