"I was contacted the same day as I posted my need, Mr Franklin came by and gave me a reasonable price to do the work and stated he could do it the next day. He picked up the supplies from Lowes where I had ordered them and brought it to my home. His crew did a great job of replacing 5 shrubs and laying new mulch. They were efficient, and were friendly while doing the job. I am very pleased with the work they did. Would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks again, Bea"

"We recently had our driveway culvert replaced by Keller Group, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the initial communication to the completion of the project, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. The crew arrived on time, worked diligently, and demonstrated exceptional attention to detail throughout the installation. They took the time to ensure the job was done correctly, maintained a clean work site, and treated our property with respect. The finished culvert not only functions perfectly but also looks great and has significantly improved the appearance and drainage of our driveway. What stood out most was Keller Group's commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. It's refreshing to work with a company that takes such pride in their work and follows through on their promises. We highly recommend Keller Group to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and high-quality excavation or culvert installation services."

Excavating FAQs, 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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.

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.

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.
