We Do not offer dumpster services, just discarding of items. We have a MINIMUM of $250 for all services. Give us a call today and we will be happy to give you a free estimate!

"I hired Hustle Construction to help clean up my mom and dad’s property that had years of rocks, bricks, railroad ties, cinderblocks, and other debris piled up. I put an RFP on Angi, and Chris from Hustle responded quickly with a really fair bid. He kept in touch, showed up when he said he would, and brought his crew who worked super hard. They knocked the job out of the park! Honestly, I think the cleanup was a bit bigger than they expected, but Chris stuck to his price, which I really appreciated. I even gave them a little extra tip because they worked like a bunch of oxen. All in all, I’m very happy with how everything turned out. I’d gladly hire Hustle Construction again and definitely recommend them to anyone who needs honest, hardworking folks to get the job done right."

"In 2019, much to my chagrin, I had a leaky 70 year old underground oil tank removed from my property. That part of the job was handled perfectly. Matt put together a stellar report to which I got an immediate response from NJ DEP that they could not process b/c there was no money in the fund. 5 years later, April 2024, my name came up, and the grant was approved "based on its technical merit." Matt was right there, helping me through my questions and reassuring me, since I was aware it could be a nightmare. Coreen gave me a date and explained what to expect, and true to her word, the team arrived right on schedule. Brad handled the machine and did an expert job excavating perfectly since it was so close to the house. Diane, the chemist, explained what the process is, and kept me informed throughout the day. Scott helped me schedule and remove another tank by my garage. Ben and Eric were on hand too. The team was efficient, professional, kind, and thorough, and wasted NO time, and took the utmost care to protect my property. This team is so skilled and experienced, I was completely reassured. It was completed in minimal time and according to budget. I could not have been in better hands, and I am incredibly relieved to have this all behind me! Thank you team Applied, I highly, highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

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.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.
