"Sean Farrell Excavation was hired to do over our driveway. Sean clearly reviewed all the materials, steps involved, and hours that the crew would be at our property. The work was meticulous and on time. Reviewing the steps beforehand left us with no surprises and we were able to plan our day to day around it. We were thrilled with the finished results. Sean took the time to listen, relay it to his crew and deliver a gorgeous driveway. We even got a phone call when work was completed to make sure we were happy, something that rarely happens from a company owner these days. I would highly recommend him and his crew for any similar work."

Customers say: Quick response

"Joel did a great job turning some raw undeveloped land into a beautiful up hill driveway. The job involved rebuilding a stone wall, tree stump excavation, sculpting over 250 yards of soils into gentle slopes and finishing the job by spreading gravel for the new driveway. Joel is a master at working an excavator and has excellent work ethics. I am looking forward to having him back to do the next round of work on my property."

"The work done by Pro Cut was excellent. Bob and assistant worked quickly and carefully, filling in uneven ground with rocks so we can now walk across the area without risk of falling. Great job!"

"Very prompt coming out for an estimate and scheduling/completed the job, but the overall quality of the work was subpar... especially for the price which came out to about $250/hr. I had to spend half a day doing yard work to clean up the things he missed. I would not re-hire DMZ."

"Marc went above and beyond when installing a yard drainage system in our side yard. He was quick to give us a competitive quote, easy to work with, and got a complicated job done fast. I would highly recommend him for homeowners looking to modify the slope and or drainage plan for their plot."

"Jerry worked with me to design and install front and backyard gardens with a beautiful stone patio and stone paths. His work is excellent and he knows his materials. He checked in with me along the way about decisions that needed to be made, even though that part was a bit stressful. I also appreciated his team because they were friendly and worked well together (and strong to deal with super rocky soil). We love walking the gardens several times a day and neighbors often stop to admire the beauty of the flowers and trees. We highly recommend Stonewall Pro."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

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.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
