"David and his team are AMAZING! They took a day and a half to transform most of my backyard! First, they installed a mortared decorative brick edging all around my beds. Next, I had an area that was basically a muddy mess because of too much water sitting around. He cleared that area, laid big, beautiful pavers down for a walkway and filled in the bare areas with river rock! Finally, they laid fresh brown mulch in my beds. Wow!! I have used these guys in the past and I will most definitely be using them in the future. His crew was very knowledgeable, tidy, productive and kind. Any questions I had, they answered and were on point! Finally, David is very fair on pricing. He’s thorough and is quick to return phone calls and text messages. I love my new backyard and I didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg like some of the other landscape companies out there."

"They were fabulous! I hired to clean up the backyard and build a little pond out back. In addition to the backyard, they trimmed up my bushes all around the house and placed pine straw and mulch around the property. It looked really clean and professional. I would definitely recommend these guys; super friendly and efficient :)"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

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.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

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.
