"They came and dug a new leach line that had been crushed from previous work done on the land. They were very professional and worked very hard to complete the job. It was not an easy task due to an abundance amount of very large rocks where we needed the new leach line. But they worked hard and made it happen. Very pleased with their work and effort from Wappapello, MO."

"Timely, professional service. After moving, I had a lot of trash and boxes. I have a three car garage, and couldnâ t put my cars in the garage bc of the trash. After seeing his service on Facebook, I called David. We facetimed so he could see the amount of trash to haul. His price was very reasonable for the trash I had. He set the appointment and was on time for it. His crew was very professional and hauled everything off. Thank you so much for the service. I will be informing and referring others to/for this company."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

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.

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

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
