Korf Enterprises was started in the summer of 2009 as a small company with a personal touch. A personal touch is what you will always recieve with Korf Enterprises because there is one employee, the owner, Dave Korfmacher. Honest answers, hard work, and fair prices is what you can expect from Korf Enterprises as I am committed to helping people, not just "another customer".

"Dave arrived early. We discussed the job and he got right to work. After grading, there was a short wait until the gravel arrived. The job was done to my satisfaction by 11:30 AM. Very personable and easy to talk with. He did exactly what I asked. Driveway is flat and compacted and has already withstood heavy rain and large delivery trucks. Recommended."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
