"Atlas tree Service did a terrific job digging a French drain, replacing a dead holly tree, and trimming up a large oak tree for me. The drain is working beautifully and the sod looks beautiful. I would recommend them highly."

"Darius did a great job in recommending, selecting and installing the landscaping bushes, plants and flower upgrades for our yard! He showed great patience in working with us to get the right mix. He even replanted some existing bushes that are no longer available so that they will be grouped together. He also found and fixed several leaks in my irrigation system and installed new sprinkler heads where needed, which I really appreciated! All in all, I highly recommend GreenMen Landscape Services"

"Such a great experience from beginning to end! They helped repair a roof and rotted wood from a 35-40 foot high roof on a historic condominium building in Midtown Atlanta. There were a number of complicated logistics with equipment and custom cutting and installation. Final House are experts at what they do and can help you accomplish an array of complicated projects with ease."

"We contacted Atlanta Bobcat Services for the demolition of our in-ground pool. It was evident from when Mark came for the quote that he had the know-how for the job, and was already formulating a plan. The work was nothing short of amazing. Well planned and executed with attention to detail. Mark and his crew really knocked it out of the park. Atlanta Bobcat turned our decrepit pit of a swimming pool into usable yard space. We are very satisfied and would definitely recommend them."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

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.
