"We had our synthetic turf replaced with real grass, and the crew did a fantastic job. The price was fair, they worked efficiently, and they finished exactly what they said they would. The new lawn looks great. Highly recommend!"

"First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you at Stabuilt from our family to make our multiyear dream come true. We can’t believe this transformation still. When we met Brent for the first time, we felt so confident that we are on right track and then with Leland and then specially with Hamid to bring it all together. Each of you were really wonderful to work with! Project Manager Hamid was available anytime to discuss our ideas and helped with many suggestions throughout. We had many changes throughout that the crew was able to accommodate it and were able to complete it in a very reasonable time. There were many times Hamid and crew went extra mile to help us!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

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. 

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

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.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
