"Utilizing Angie's list to find Coles Excavating was extremely helpful to find a reliable and knowledgeable Contractor. I obtained 3 bids as recommended. Robert Cole answered all my questions and immediately made an appointment to look at our septic tank that needed to be replaced. He recommended a septic tank that was available at Home Depot and we were able to purchase using my military discount saving additional cost. Robert gave us a fair and competative price. He completed the installation and did a good job restoring the desert landscape. From beginning to end Robert communicated with us to ensure we knew each stage of the project. We can highly recommend Robert and his sons for excavation and septic tank installation."

"Michael graded my rural neighborhood roads as well as cleared, graded, and graveled a lot and driveway on my property. He took the time to ensure the gravel matched perfectly with our existing rock. I hired him again to excavate and install water and sewer lines for our RV parking. Michael took a consultative approach to help me meet the needs of my projects.

We are an excavating company with over 30 years experience. What kind of work do we do? Anything and everything dirt work related. The most common projects would be house pads, site prep, utilities, and road grading. However, we don't just stop there. We do demolition, water distribution, sewer installs, dump truck services and much more. When you call Canyon Edge Excavating LLC you get the owner bidding your project, and more than likely running the tractor. There are no huge overhead inflations with us. Give us a call!

"Canyon Edge demonstrated exceptional attentiveness and understanding throughout the process, showing genuine flexibility with both my budget and scheduling needs. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and fully intend to hire them again for future projects in the seasons and years ahead."

"On time, did the job quickly. Was not expecting the 'additional fees' they quoted after arriving. Especially when they asked 'did the office tell you about ...?, which they did not. So, quote of $535 turned into $880 after the 'tank opening fee $75', the 'filter cleaning fee $65', the 'wash tank fee $65' and 'extra water fee $140'. Pro tips 1) ask what the added charges will be 2) uncover the tanks yourself 3) spray down the solids tank (hose water) and 4) clean your own filter before contractors arrive, save yourself $345."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

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.

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.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.
