"George and his company were very prompt and professional. He offered great advice on what was needed and he gave a very honest assessment of what needed to be done and how I could save money without sacrificing quality or the integrity of the finished product. These are qualities you don’t see much anymore when profit is the priority. Do yourself a big favor and use George and his team at M&W Excavating. I highly recommend them.9"

"100% satisfied! Repeat customer for life. I wanted a chain link fence with multiple, different sized gates installed around an oddly shaped piece of my yard, which is on a slope and the ground is pretty rocky. I called Ivan, who is probably the most polite person I've ever met, to come give me an estimate. His prices were fair, and they got the fence installed perfectly. I'm so pleased with my experience that I'm hiring them again for a larger, agricultural fencing project and plan to keep this company as my go-to contractor for other things that come up."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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 digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
