Travis Wilson founded Wilson Construction in 2011, and he has been working in the excavation trade since 2004. We primarily serve the Knox County area, but we consistently work in the surrounding Lincoln and Waldo Counties. We take pride in doing high quality work and hiring skilled workers who enjoy what they do, whether that is lawn care, stonework, or excavation. We put out a better product because of our employees. Many of our customers and subcontractors have told us that they can’t believe our attention to detail and how meticulous we are. Our initial off-hand response was, “There’s only one way to do things, and that’s the right way.” In hindsight, that’s been our motto from the beginning, and it has since become our unofficial slogan. We pride ourselves on producing high quality work in a timely manner. We approach each new project with fresh eyes and an open mind to do what best suits the property and the customer.

The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
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 cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Junk removal costs depend on the volume and type of waste you need removed, but paying a professional saves you time and energy over hauling it yourself.
