"Very easy and professional to work with from start to finish. My husband and I were nervous to work with another contractor, due to a previous very larger concrete project that had a few bumps towards the end of the project and we don't realize it would tear up most of our yard. The first call to Dan started with a small project grading and leveling estimate but through further discussions and Dan answering our questions; we decided to have them complete a larger landscaping project: replace a 72 feet rock wall with a boulder wall, frame a small flower garden with rocks, level and grade entire yard, over 4,500 sq feet, hydro seed, and place a few boulders throughout the yard . They initiated conversations with our neighbor, explaining and ensuring no damage to their yard would occur and if hey had any questions or concerns to please talk to them right way, they had none, and everything went smoothly. Dan and his brother pay attention to detail from start to finish and we greatly appreciated that. The grass is starting to grow and everything looks great. The price was well worth it."

"We have had 2 projects done this summer. After putting them off due to another company's high bid, we decided to try Clark and found them to be more willing to work within our budget. The job leader took time to understand our vision and the office communication was always immediate and timely. The crew was thoughtful and did a remarkable job of keeping the inevitable lawn damage to a minimum. After long hot days, they still made sure the work area was cleaned up each time. We are very happy with the outcome and highly recommend Clark."

"I have a Freind who was removing an above ground wishing well garden, offered me pavers. My neighbor across my street did landscaping so I asked him (Angel) if he could help me with the job. He drew a diagram of my plan and told me he would both take apart my friends garden but reassemble it in my soon to be home 3 miles from current home. He gave me what I thought was a generous bid and asked him when he could get started. He said tomorrow. I hired him and now have other projects I want him and his crew to do. Very conscientious and courteous work was done here. I’d hire him for any landscaping chore. He has the equipment and expertise combined with great people skills!! He is a great guy! Highly recommend his services."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.
