"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

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

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 rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.
