"Cameron replied very quickly to my request for a quote (he emailed me the morning following my request). He was quite flexible with regards to meeting me as I work Mondays through Friday. We set up a date for late Thursday. Wednesday he emailed me and stated he could come by that night if it was convenient for me, which it was. When we met he quoted me a price which was acceptable to me. Then he went right to work mowing my field. As a note, my field (which was quite large) had not been attended to for 2 years and the grass in most of the areas appeared to be at least 12 inches high. Even though it started to rain he continued mowing and was done in an hour. My field looks great. Cameron was very pleasant. If I need additional mowings during the summer I plan on getting in touch with him again. And I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other people."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.
