"Very quick response and turnaround time. Hired them to clear and grade about 3/4 of an acre on our property. They came to check out my land and gave me a quote next business day. Started the project the next week and finished same day. Professional and kind crew. I'd use them for future projects."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t be happier with the landscaping work! He did an incredible job transforming our outdoor space and brought our vision to life. From the beginning, he was professional, dependable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy with the results. He paid attention to every detail and took the time to make sure everything was done correctly. Whether it was the plants, landscaping, rocks, cleanup, irrigation, or overall design, the quality of his work was outstanding. Everything looks beautiful, clean, and professionally done. What really stood out to us was his work ethic and the pride he takes in what he does. He was respectful of our property, communicated well throughout the project, and went above and beyond our expectations. If you’re looking for a landscaper who is hardworking, reliable, talented, and takes pride in his work, I highly recommend him. We absolutely love how everything turned out and would definitely hire Alberto."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

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.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
