"Carlos with JS Landscape and Excavation was prompt and responsive the whole way through, from the initial meeting to providing the estimate to scheduling and completing the work - it all happened within a matter of days. On the day of the project, Carlos and his team showed up on time and got to work right away. They worked quickly while still maintaining a high quality of work. They finished quicker than I expected and the overall cost was right in line with the estimate. I would definitely hire JS Landscape and Excavation again in the future."

"The project went amazingly! Nick was very easy to work with, took the time to explain the entire process, and was very transparent about the costs. The crew was always on time, worked diligently, and before I knew it, the work was done! Nick’s bid was very affordable, but it would have been well worth it if his bid had been the highest. I highly recommend EIB to anyone who wants a contractor who is reliable, honest, punctual, competent, performs high-quality work, has quick response times, charges a fair price, and completes the job on time!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

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.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

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.
