"Of all the contractors I have worked with, Damien of South Shore Excavation is by far the best contractor I have ever worked with. As you can imagine, the removal of Invasive Bamboo is not an easy task and most landscapers/contractors (I had 3 refuse to do the work) would not touch it, or provide an astronomical quote preventing any possibility to proceed. This was not the case w/ Damien of South Shore Excavation. He came in, assessed the project as a whole and provided an honest attainable quote to proceed. He was on site and stayed until the project was completed above satisfaction. His attention to detail and commitment was as if it was his own property. The re-grading and lawn preparation was meticulous as was the bringing in of clean loam with a compost mix. I would recommend South Shore Excavation to anyone."

Customers say: Quick response

"Sean called me back within 2 minutes of e-mailing him to contact me. He was courteous and professional, and the cost he quoted me was reasonable for the job. He called before he came the next day and he arrived within the 30 minute time frame he quoted. He did a thorough job of snowplowing our driveway and I would not hesitate to use him again."

"Tyler Grey was professional. He arrived on time for the estimate visit. He told me that he had insurance to cover his crew. As we walked the property, he paid strict attention to what I was saying. When he came to do the job, we again walked the property. He had notes from his prior visit that he referred to. He asked me more questions. His crew was courteous and very nice. They worked right along and got the yard done. It was a mess. Itâ s a pleasure to look out my windows now."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

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.

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.
