"Great work st a very fair price. Trimmed a hurricane damaged tree and removed a very large uprooted tree stump in a difficult location. Once arrived (a little late but thatâ s ok) they immediately started work and didnâ t stop until completed. Excellent work and amazing cleanup. Definitely recommend and wonâ t hesitate to hire again if needed."

Customers say: True professional

"Absolutely transformed my property in three days! It is amazing what can be accomplished by a skilled professional who knows the landscape and his equipment. Primarily underbrush clearing of invasive bushes and uncared for land (1.7 acres). I bought the property 7 months ago and thought it would be years for what Mark did in three days. *Based on other estimates who told me they'd need a full crew to do the same work which priced the project out of reach. Quality, terms, results. I will be hiring Grady's Services for future projects and recommend him to anyone."

Customers say: Quality work

"We had Pelican Rock Company install a border edging using block pavers we also had edging installed in a plant bed across the front of the house. We are extremely happy with the quality of the work. The installers were professional and clean. The work is sharp and looks fantastic. They made sure curves were installed properly and lines were straight. Great job. I highly recommend you give them a call for your next project."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

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.

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.
