"It went great! We had tried to do this project for 2-3 years and could not get return calls or estimates from the contractors we called. Nick retuned calls, got estimates done quickly and got the work scheduled fast! Aaron came and took care of the cottonwood trunks. Aaron and Nick accomplished the digging, grading, dry well and culvert in about two days. Thank you. And the starting point was much more rugged than those pictures FYI."

"Adam with Iron Mountain Excavation was so easy to work with. His knowledge and years in business show in all aspects of the project. He’s got a vision that can’t be beat when looking at a raw piece of land and figuring out where to layout roads/driveways and where to place homesites. Would definitely recommend Adam and Iron Mountain Excavation to anyone looking to get dirt work, land development and logging done."

"I hired HH&E to clear some land and lay some gravel for my driveway. Honestly it was a great experience the guy is hands down one of the most cordial and professional contractors I've ever hired. Very good communication he let me know what was going on progressively and he got the job done in a very timely manner. I would absolutely hire again."

"Hilltop Excavation project leader and owner Micheal Schwartz reworked my entire driveway and built a retaining wall to divert runoff water from undermining my houseâ s foundation. He did an exceptional job, not only is the runoff water running far from my house but I also gained three times the parking space in my driveway. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable man with an exceptional work ethic. I would highly recommend him for any excavation work that you may need done."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
