"I had two very large (over 40’ tall) dead cottonwood trees that I needed to have removed from my back yard before being able to put my house up for sale. I got several bids and decided to go with Tree Toppin. These trees had a ton of branches and there were many that were hanging over the house, the fence going to my neighbors yard, and over our covered deck. We live on the corner of a cul-du-sac, but we have a smaller yard, so these trees could not simply be cut down quickly. The two-man crew meticulously took down each branch, one-by-one, in order to control the decent and not cause damage to my neighbor’s or my property. This was nice because I never heard any crashing of branches hitting the ground, which would also have disturbed my neighbors and my dogs. The trunks of the trees were also another challenge since they were very thick and heavy, but the crew cut them down close to the ground as I did not request stump grinding for this project. The project took two days in total and everything was removed with very little wood shavings left. The crew was on time each morning and they worked very hard to ensure that the job was done right and that there was no property damage at all. I am very happy with the work that was completed for us. Thank you Tree Toppin Services!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Monument, 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.
