"Very good to work with. He always kept in touch. They work hard and fast to get the job done. I had a lot of excavation to do, and he tackled it with no problem before installing block planters and retaining walls, along with concrete work."

"Very experienced and knowledgeable of specific details of my project. Mitch is very punctual and trustworthy and kept me informed before and during excavation of my property. I never had to guess when he was going to show up and I felt like he valued my time. You can tell he enjoys what he does and he treats your property as if it were his own and for the quality of work I received I got the most bang for my buck! Will definitely hire him again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
