"Kingdom Land Services recently completed a job on our driveway. Connor was very knowledgeable and professional when working with us and staying within our budget. He was also very conscious of our need to have access to our home and worked with our schedule to get the job finished in a timely manner. Highly recommend them for any of your land management needs."

"I have to give a HUGE shout out to Mahan Septic Systems and Dirt Work from Hot Springs, AR. We had a stopped up toilet and needed some assistance. We found them on Angi and they contacted us immediately. We made arrangements and they came the next day and found the issue and solved it. They even came back the following day and fixed the toilet lid (which wasn't even on the fix list!). I would highly recommend giving them a call the next time you need any septic and plumbing work. Call (501) 617-7689. Thank you Mahan!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Colt and the team at Dirt Lion on a series of projects, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. As a client managing the process from out of town, I especially appreciated the clear and consistent communication. Their ability to handle local coordination and project management made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Dirt Lion completed a wide range of services for me, including tree removal, driveway widening, utility line trenching, house demolition, and pad preparation for a new home build. Every aspect of the work was executed with precision and professionalism, meeting—and even exceeding—my high expectations. The quality of work, attention to detail, and ease of doing business with Dirt Lion have earned my trust, and I will absolutely use them again for future projects. Highly recommended."

"This company is fantastic! Highly Recommend!! Joseph (the owner) is very easy to work with, first of all! I hired his company earlier this year to redo my entire back yard and turn it into and outdoor paradise! He was able to create an impressive, detailed 3D model on the computer of exactly what I wanted and he and his team executed it perfectly! He was able to work in conjunction with a contractor I hired to put an in ground pool in and it was seamless! Rain was an issue during our project but thatâ  s how it goes sometimes.. Greennecks was able to come in and take care of the entirety of the project in an orderly, timely manner. Their work is very neat, his workers are highly professional. I will be using them again in the future!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Royal, AR

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.
