"The project went very well. My property suffered a double discrepancy situation. I received a higher than usual water bill. At the same time, found water flowing from underneath the entrance to our driveway. Water line failure. So the fix is, two birds one stone so to speak. Since the meter was still ticking when Billy arrived, he located the water leak and decided to bypass the leak entirely with new equipment. That way, we both had time to figure out our next steps to repair while the water meter was not consistently running. Then, he brought in excavation equipment, demolished and removed the debris that same day. Even with a slight weather delay, the project was done timely, and at the end we were very satisfied with the finished effort. Billy kept me well informed with text and photo messages. He bid this project within my budget and we got started right away. I would recommend Mr. Hays expertise and have already to MacDill AFB contracting personnel."

"I needed my fence removed, my yard graded, some rock piles cleared and a large dead tree taken down. I called Land Gator. Nathan told me to send a couple pics of the yard. He came over that afternoon, and gave me a very reasonable estimate. He showed up on Friday to do the work when promised. I was highly impressed with the level of work he did quickly and efficiently. I have other projects for him in the future. I highly recommend Land Gator for anyone looking for work done!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Citra, FL

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.
