Small jobs welcome

This is a new business, but I've been doing this type of work for about 10 years. \nI am licensed in South Dakota and am getting registered in Wyoming. \nI have experience running multiple types of construction equipment. If my skid steer with attachments and excavator won't do the job I can rent what is needed. No job is too small and always up for a challenge. \nI listen to the clients ideas and needs to insure the job is done successfully and to the clients expectations. I strive to complete a job in a timely manner and encourage the clients input during a job avoids delays.

"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 FAQs, 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.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.
