"Austin was terrific to work with. Communications was great and he came up with a landscape design that corrected a lot of poor landscaping in the past and dramatically improved drainage, safety and curb appeal of the house. His crew managed to do all the work in a single day. They knocked down old hardscape, regraded, added a boulder retaining wall and huge stepping stones to create an inviting walkway to the front door. New perimeter plantings and anchor trees really frame the house and increased its value far above the cost of the project."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Richie and his team at Sanford's Landscaping to add a new deck and fire pit area to my cabin, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! From start to finish, Richie was incredibly professional, attentive, and transparent. His expertise and eye for detail were evident in every aspect of the project. The craftsmanship of the deck is top-notch, with every board perfectly aligned and the finish flawless, truly complementing the natural beauty of my cabin's surroundings. The fire pit area is an absolute dream come true – it's beautifully constructed with just the right aesthetic to match the rustic vibe of the cabin while offering functionality and safety. Richie and his team were punctual, clean, and organized, making the whole process stress-free. They respected my property and left the construction site tidy each day. The project was completed on time and within the agreed budget, which was very reasonable for the quality of work provided. I highly recommend Sanford's Landscaping to anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living space. Richie's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is unmatched. If you're in the market for a reliable, skilled, and courteous contractor, look no further than Richie and his team at Sanford's Landscaping. Thank you, Richie, for transforming my cabin’s outdoor space into a stunning retreat!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Calhoun, GA

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.
