It all started several years ago with a dream to be different, we wanted to challenge ourselves to be the best excavation and grading contractor in Wisconsin. The best not only limited to the quality of our work, the competitiveness of our pricing, or the size of our company, but the best more so in the journey of how we would achieve those aspirations. We wanted to be transparent with our clients, and we wanted to create a family of collaborators, not roster of employees. And today, we are well on our way to success with those endeavors. We are growing fast, and we are going strong together with those who we work with. If you have a project which will incorporate earthwork, demolition, or utility work, I highly encourage you to reach out to us to experience for yourself what we are. Look forward to hearing from you, Masterwork Construction

"This is the second time I had Masterwork do my driveway. They did an Excellent job just like the first time. I would definitely recommend Rob and his crew anytime. Thanks again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much. 

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
