"Excavating Landscape Services ~ If you are looking for a qualified, honest, professional and reasonably-priced excavation contractor in either Greene, Christian, Taney, or Stone counties of Southwest Missouri, your search is finally over. Saddlebrooke, Missouri is an upscale residential development off Highway 65 between Springfield and Branson, where my wife and I were going to build a house on a beautiful idyllic lot overlooking pristine Bull Creek. Concrete footing with rebar for stem walls was poured and set years ago for a large house in Seven Pines gated subdivision. Then, our plans changed, we decided not to build ... Fast forward to the present, when we needed to restore the build lot to its original condition; which would require demolition and removal of concrete structure including rebar, excavation, adding fill dirt, and grading of lot to create a natural slope and contour suitable for mowing. A major project! Working blindly and knowing virtually nothing about demolition, landscaping, or excavation, I took on the rather daunting task of researching options and identifying qualified area excavators. During this time, I spoke with dozens of SW MO area excavators, and finally narrowed down the list to about a half dozen vetted contractors with their cost estimates. Careful marketplace analysis, referrals, a website presence, responsiveness for quote, telephone interviews, all this due diligence helped to separate the pretenders from the presenters; which all pointed in only one direction, and that was Carr Excavating and Landscaping, LLC based in Galena, Missouri. I am delighted with their work and the finished landscape project; bought in under budget and on schedule. Highly recommend Carr Excavating, simply the best, and the entire Carr Excavating and Landscaping Team was a pleasure to do business with ... Special thank you to Brent Carr and to Sheena Carr for making this such a wonderful experience, and restoring the natural beauty of 762 Seven Pines Drive, Saddlebrooke, MO 65630."

"We had CS Excavating install a wood privacy fence at our house. The natural terrain of a hillside full of rocks presented challenges, but Chad and his crew tackled those issues and completed an outstanding installation for us! Chad did not use the flimsy pre-fabricated fence panels from a big box store. They set each post in concrete, measured and custom cut every board individually to ensure a straight, plumb, and level fence. It looks awesome!! Not only did CS Excavating complete the job on budget, they even finished early! If you need a fence or excavating work in the Branson area, you need CS Excavating!"

"DNS Excavation completed our land clearing/pond construction exactly as we had planned it. The dozer work was obviously done by an experienced operator, and they went above and beyond our expectations on clean-up and finish work. We will be using DNS Excavation for the next phase of our project."

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
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.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
