"Tomâ s attention to detail and work ethic are off the charts! He listened to what we liked and wanted and still exceeded our expectations. He offered solutions and ideas without being pushy. He really knows what heâ s doing. He is very knowledgeable and dependable, you can count on him to show up and do a great job. The other lawn companies damaged our pool, downspouts, our retaining wall, pool covers, garden hoses and pool storage bins, they blew the grass into our a/c unit, and towards the windows in the house! It was awful! Thank God we found Tom, he HAS NOT damaged a thing! His rates are so reasonable. You will not go wrong with this company."

"Gave reasonable bid to locate and replace 100" drain line. Came when scheduled, quickly located and replaced old line that was filled with tree roots. When finshed cleaned up and leveled area that had been dug up. I will definitely use Straight Line Trenching for their services in the future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

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.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.
