"Dan was great to work with, he kept us informed about when he would be on site and was always on time.  Everything went as promised.  My narrow yard sloped toward the house; he excavated and leveled the area, added a drain and patio, and installed a wall to keep the planter area from eroding.  I wanted the wall to tie into my landscape boulders and it turned out better than I expected.  He planned the drainage and ended up doing  more than we originally discussed.  He suggested ways to tie the patio drain into our existing system which we have since finished and it works wonderfully.  I couldn't be happier about the result.  Dan was on the job every day with 3-5 other workers; everyone was very courteous.  Great experience, I would definitely hire him again.  I don't know if the price was competitive (I didn't get any other bids) - I have had many bad contractor experiences and I felt completely at ease after meeting Dan.  I felt he would do the job right and I was ok with the price he quoted.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

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.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.
