"We had our sewage line collapse back in October and the company that replaced the line tore up our yard pretty hard. We hired RPM Excavation, LLC after getting a couple of quotes. They were not the least expensive but we're easy to work with and even came down to match the other price we had gotten. Matt was fantastic to work with. After they did the main grading, they had ended up leaving pretty big tracks in our yard. We called Matt because we didn't really have time to wait for it to pop back up as we were selling our house. He sent someone out to grade the tracks and we are super pleased with the end result. All around a great experience! Highly reccomend these guys!"

"I was tremendously impressed with the quality and the overall design of my garden area. More importantly is the men who did the work. The workmanships was very impressive and even though the plans was previously determined, the workers suggested an alternative to what was discussed. After the work was completed, the team leader walked me through and pointed out the end result. I’m positive my neighbors are going to inquire about who did the work."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

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.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

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.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
