"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 can?t recommend this company enough. Brandon did an excellent job, and left my property clean, and tidy. He did some grading, and tree removal, and for a very fair price. I will definitely have him back!"

"It went good - it was a big job with lots of variables. Weather was extremely hot while they were working which made it very challenging for them. They were careful not to disturb our neighbor’s yards which was important to us. End result was beautiful and we continually get compliments on their work from our neighbors."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
