"I met Gabe through a friend. I had a few trees with large dead limbs, with the potential for causing a hazardous situation. He called me from a job in Baker, said he was leaving heading my way. He was at my house in about 25 minutes. He looked the situation over, gave me a recommendation and a quote. Was also given a price for mulching a section of my property that was overgrown with yaupon and brush. He returned a few days later to trim the trees. He brought out his mulcher a few days later and cleared my property. He did a fantastic job, and I would highly recommend Gabe. He’s truly a man of his word"

"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."

"Nathan and James were the absolute perfect people to work with. I wanted about an acre clear with trees to knock down, stumps filled in, roots managed, and logs cleared out. They kept all our appointments to talk about the project and gave me a firm date on when they would start and finish. They stuck to it and worked hard, totally exceeding my expectations. They were fair and reasonable with prices, if you need excavation or anything of the sort done you need to call these guys, I'm definitely going to get them to help me out for my next projects."

"Mr Holloway is helping to clear a pathway to our other paths. To get to our creek again on the property. Since loggers in the area deemed us too small to bother with. Cutting our natural woods timber and hauling it to market. So our property, has to suffer, due to their arrogance and years ago driving the smaller logging outfits out of business. PearFection Farms"

FAQs for excavation projects in Troy, AL

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

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 cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.

While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs. 

In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
