"His service was excellent. He completed a very difficult task with ease. One that several so-called contractors failed at previously. He constructed some very large timber frame trusses. He even designed and built a specialized drill to complete the project. I highly recommend this company. His rates are fair. You will definitely get your money's worth."

"Tim did an excellent job on our gravel shed pad foundation! His pricing was both reasonable and affordable, and he took the time to listen to all of our needs. He went the extra mile to ensure the project was done right and worked incredibly hard throughout the process. The quality of his work truly shows. We’ll definitely turn to him for any future dirt work and highly recommend his services!"

"Gabe did an amazing job. We live on a slopped yard and had a pool put in. He installed a 8 foot privacy fence with a double gate, reinforced by metal frame (it looks amazing) on two sides of the yard. The rest of the yard black chain link fence. His crew was very precise and cleaned up after everything was done. This is the second property Gabe ( Crawford Fencing and dirt work) has installed fencing on for us. High quality work goes along way. We would recommend him and his crew to anyone looking for a high quality fence."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

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. 

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.
