"Little Su Services deconstructed a large old shed in one day. They had the right tools and machinery plus, the team worked continuously until the job was completed. At the end of the project, they hauled off the waste materials. Little Su Services team was so professional that we are hiring the company again to complete an excavation/pad project."

"Russ and his team did a great job reconstructing our 3-tiered rock wall garden. Not only did they stay within budget but they finished the project earlier than expected! Alex and his team worked hard and did an amazing job. We are beyond pleased and would definitely recommend their services."

"I put in a request to have an estimate and got a call back same day from company to do both estimate and job all in one. The process was very quick and both the administrative staff and technicians themselves were very professional! They took care of a 5+ year problem within 90 minutes. Thank you! The Homeadvisor/ Angi app process on the other hand, may need more work on linking to customer needs. This is the only reason this service isnâ t all 5 stars. Thank goodness for good, local contractors like Arctic Septic and Restoration who know what theyâ re doing! Thank you"

"Our original project included prepping new lake property by clearing trees, excavating, leveling and building a pad for our RV. They also were able to accommodate our additional request to build a path down to the lake. We were very happy with the results. We for sure would use them again!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
