"I gave Bruce an impossible task to fill in my 10,000 gallon fenced in pool w/thirty cubic yards of gravel. The logistics were horrible, but Bruce was ready for the task at hand. Finished on time, and left my property undamaged and clean."

"Masterpiece land builders are exactly as the name describes, masterpiece. Orlando and his team did an absolutely beautiful job on my backyard. Not only was the job done extremely well professionally, but the pricing was fantastic as well. And the best part of all it was kept on schedule and completed in an extremely timely manner. Once the job was completed everything was cleaned up properly and I was left with a beautiful landscape."

"They were all polite worked together like a well oiled machine. I was amazed at how much they paid attention to detail and what a fantastic paint job they did. I had a couple of accent colors and my house looks picture perfect! I was also amazed how they cleaned up they vacuumed and mopped all the areas, I would definitely give them the highest mark and would be proud to recommend they to anyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

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.

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.

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.
