"The cutting and removal was done quickly and exactly the way we wanted it done. It was a tricky cut but it was done perfectly. I would hire them again because they were on time and made sure there were no surprises."

"I had some landscaping done over the summer by a different contractor but one thing that was overlooked in the design was proper drainage once a travertine walkway was installed. Based on the impact of the last monsoon that hit the east valley, there was a substantial amount of standing water between our house foundation and the new walkway. I met with Ravi who basically engineered a drainage system/network to get water out of our yard and direct it onto the street. His crew showed up on time and installed a series of catch basins that were interconnected. They also did some repair on the travertine that had "collapsed" due to errosion from the monsoon. The Balance crew worked extremely fast and were done in 3 days (this includes the 1st day which was a site survey along with the lay-out of the underground work to be done). Great team and Ravi was a pleasure to work with in getting out drainage problem resolved. I highly recommend this company for your landscaping projects."

"I had a wonderful experience with this company. Ralph and George came out to remove a stump and many overgrown bushes with roots. They gave me top notch service and gave my yard a fresh start for a new look. I highly recommend!"

"I hired them to add travertine patio, sidewalks and turf to my backyard and move irrigation lines. They did a great job. very professional and I didn't have to micromanage. They were always a step ahead. One crew did the tear out, laid irrigation lines and came back to clean up, a crew to lay travertine and a crew to lay the turf. Supervisor oversaw project and designer came out to give me a design. I would hire them again in a minute! Great experience!"

"I have worked with many contractors over the years and H-Bros Excavating is by far the best experience I have ever had. They showed up when they said they would to provide an estimate. They started the job at the time they said they would. They kept me informed of the progress, what was going to be needed, each next step, and met the completion time they projected. When they were almost done, I found that I had not communicated exactly what I needed and it wasn't done quite the way I had intended. After I was clear on what it was I wanted, without a blink, sour word, or any frustration, they simply went to work to give me what I wanted. The entire mistake was mine for not being clear and yet they were happy to fix what was almost done. All of this and the final bill was exactly what I had been originally quoted. You will not fine a more professional or personable company anywhere. Their attention to detail and desire to provide me with what I wanted is unparalled. I will use them again and I will recommend them to anyone needed an excavating company. You will not be disappointed. Dan"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.
