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

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
