"I hired this outstanding excavation contractor to clear 5 acres of raw land, develop a roadway, install a culvert and driveway, and create a wildlife trail — and I can’t recommend them enough. From day one, they treated my vision with care, patiently walking the property, listening closely, and offering smart, practical advice on every phase. They didn’t just follow instructions — they improved them, suggesting optimal grading, drainage, and trail routing to preserve nature while building function. Tree clearing was done methodically, respecting the land’s contours. The roadway is solid, accessible, and thoughtfully routed. The culvert and driveway were installed with precision, ensuring long-term durability and proper water flow. The wildlife trail was crafted with intention — preserving canopy, avoiding erosion, and blending into the woods. It’s not just a path , it’s a habitat. I’m thrilled they’ll return to help dig a pond, a centerpiece I know they’ll execute with precisio"

"Very professional and efficient. Took down 2, 40ft tall diseased pine trees that posed imminent harm to my home. They cleaned up all debris and removed the trees in a timely manner. Throughout the process they let me know what they were doing and what and when they would complete the job. I would 💯 percent refer them for your project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
