"Colton did a great job with welding up my dump trailer. Overtime it developed some issues and without hesitation, he came and picked up my dump trailer for me and immediately got to work and got it back to need fixed as I requested within about a day and a half."

"I honestly cannot say enough good things about ERE! We were having some drainage issues in our backyard, and were worried about the integrity of our foundation. Jon contacted me within a day of my search and set up a consultation a few days later. He was super knowledgeable and understood what I wanted done, even when I couldnâ t exactly describe it. Jon was very thorough and kept me updated on everything he was going to be doing, and gave me several options when it came to budgeting and services. He and his team even went above and beyond by repairing the sprinkler lines that the previous owner had damage, at no extra cost. Our backyard now looks 100x better than before and we no longer have to worry about water draining towards our house & foundation. I will absolutely recommend ERE to everyone I know & will likely use them in the future for any of our landscaping needs!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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. 

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.
