"AP Excavating installed a drinking post for our horses and replaced a water hydrant. Wonderful father and sons family business - great to work with them and their crew. I was impressed with the quality of work and their commitment to making sure they exceeded our expectations. I will be using them for our next projects: entry gate, trenching work and landscaping driveway island. Thank you AP Excavating!"

"Jake and John provided demolition services for a minor subdivision in Englewood. They did an outstanding job. The job was completed on time and on budget without any surprises. I am getting ready to build a minor subdivision on the lot where they completed the demolition work. I am happy to say that they will be doing the excavation, foundations, flat work and landscaping for this project. I highly recommend them because they do a great job, have high standards and are great communicators. Thank you Jake and John! www.Kavodx.com is the real deal."

"if you have a light construction project, look no further. their work is fantastic and prices extremely reasonable. this is a no nonsense contractor with multiple crews. they've done three jobs for me... rebuilding a collapsed redwood deck, removing a section of concrete driveway and installing a french drain. if i could, i'd give them 10 stars."

"Hired them to do some manual excavation in my backyard. It was one of those small jobs that itâ s tough to find someone to do for you. Small perhaps for them, but huge for us. From the first phone call to the end of the job, customer service and communication was outstanding. As far as the work, they did a fantastic job - hauled away the excess dirt and cleaned the site. Highly recommend them, and I will certainly use them again for any future needs."

Customers say: True professional

"Bill at Vintage Stone Works has an amazing depth and breadth of experience. He has built homes from the ground up and now focuses on rehabbing. We have lived in our house for 16 years, and we had fairly severe cracks in our brick and mortar. Bill fixed those to the point where it's hard to even notice where they were fixed. He also was able to address structural issues by installing steel brackets for additional support. He is a skilled craftsman and also an artist. He got paint that matches with the color our brick almost perfectly. Our house is over 60 years old, so he even got 2 slightly different kinds of paint to address differences caused by UV weathering! Bill also was able to fix the bricks that had settled/broken off our chimney - he installed a new concrete footer under the chimney and doweled into the house foundation so that the chimney will never move again! I would absolutely recommend Bill for brick work, structural work, and concrete work. He even did a couple things that weren't in his scope and didn't charge anything for it - like some additional grading work around the house. Bill has great pride in his work, and he was excited to bring my house back to life. When he was done, my house looked 30 years younger!"

"These guys are responsive and professional. They delivered above and beyond what I expected. They didn’t just take care of the job I called them about. They also surveyed my property and let me know that I had a tree in the alley that had grown up through wires (no wonder our tv is so sketchy. I am delighted with their attention to detail and super happy with the value received. Will absolutely call them again the next time I need tree trimming or storm clean-up."

FAQs for excavation projects in Arvada, CO

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.
