"Iâ m glad we decided to trust Jonathan for our patio. He listened as we described our problems. He reassured us that he and his crew would create a patio that would drain well and look great. His confidence in his crew and his honest approach convinced us to hire him. He was right. His crew is extremely polite, confident, and has an eye for detail. His cement man is an artist, amazing to watch him work. Jonathan is trustworthy, reliable and fair. I would highly recommend him to friends, neighbors, everyone."

"Dominic responded the same day when I went through Angie. Within 24 hours he came to review the project and I had the estimate that afternoon. The price was reasonable and was scheduled within a week to start. Landscaping included 2 large flower beds in front of house that was overgrown with weeds. Dominic and his crew started from scratch removing rocks and digging out the weeds. Then replanted beautiful flowers and other plants. 100% pleased with their work! Would highly recommend!"

"We had work done on the stone patio around our pool. He also did drainage work around an area of our house that often floods. It has really made an incredible difference! Especially with all the rain we have had this year! I am so grateful to Sal and his workers! I would highly recommend their company!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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 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.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
