"Jaron was prompt, knowledgeable and professional, while quoting a fair price. We hired him to install french drains, to keep water out of our basement and plan on hiring him for other excavation jobs as well."

"We used Redline Excavation and Landscape to help prep our property and land for the installation of a 20 x40 metal building. Braden immediately began working to create the pad our building now sits on. It was evident he cares greatly about the work he does, and really takes customer satisfaction to heart. Our pad came together quickly, was level, and we had our building installed the same week. We cannot recommend Redline Excavation and Landscape enough! They are a small business with big heart."

"Quite literally “one call doesn’t all” with Buck’s. Very clean dumpsters and pickups/drop-offs are super quick and easy. Their response time is genuinely impressive - especially when you’re in a pinch. From the first call to being on location in such a short period of time, couldn’t ask for better service from Buck’s."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

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.

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.
