"Turned out that our major landscaping project that JH Landscaping and his work crew completed for us was stellar. My wife and I were thrilled with the results and so grateful for how great our backyard looks now. They did everything we asked of them, and there were lots of extra, unplanned things that needed to get done, while everything got done within budget. His workers were phenomenal, highly skilled, worked really hard, as they, for example, laid every single paver with their own hands, one by one, laid astro-turf, planted all kinds of plans, flowers, ground covers, installed irrigation. systems, major overhaul, took a couple of months, but now look at the the before and after difference! They knew what needed to get done, how to get it done and got it done! Thank you!"

"Silverback Hauling promptly returned my call to schedule a time to haul away broken concrete and brick. They called before their arrival, and they arrived promptly at the scheduled time. They went right to work and 3 of them loaded and hauled away about 3 yards of material in about a half hour. All were very friendly and professional. They cleaned the area thoroughly, leaving no trace of themselves or the material they took away. I was very happy with their work and would use them again in the future."

"Home Advisor referred me to Seth. When we spoke I could tell that he understood the general scope and we set a meeting to check the job. Seth came over looked at the project, finish grading near house and barn. We agreed on the very fair price, and Seth assured me he would get the job done in a day. Seth showed up with his partner, and they went to work. I noted their attention to detail, customer service, and honesty. I appreciated their recommendations for a better result. Perfect team for this project. I am recommending them to family with an acre which needs to be cleared and finished properly. These guys really helped my 1/2 acre home and barn drainage and finish grading. I could sense that they want to do a job right. This is important. I am an experienced tradesman, supervisor, and inspector, and I have no reservations recommending these men to family and friends. Thanks again Seth and Nate. Sincerely, EA"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
