Regulations
Good to know before you ask
Every excavation starts with a call to 811 so buried utilities are marked. Trenches 5 feet deep or more require protection against cave-ins under OSHA rules.
A soils report helps when the ground is unknown, and permits may be needed for grading or utility connections. We do not perform the work ourselves and do not show prices.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to call 811?
Yes, before any digging: it is free and required in every state.
Do I need a permit?
Often for grading, foundations and utility connections; your builder or excavator can tell you.
What if they hit rock?
Rock can require a breaker or blasting and changes the price; ask how the quote handles it.
