"Finishing Touch Landscaping exceeded all my expectations! Our property had a problem of water runoff causing serious soil erosion that required some excavation, installation of an extended drainage system, installation of railroad ties, topsoil and regrading. The cost estimate was very competitive with other local landscapers and all work was done in a very professional manner. Frank Davis is more than just a landscaper; he is an experienced problem-solver and came up with suggestions that added value to the project without exceeding the budget. He has experienced workmen and makes it his business to supervise the project in person."

"I had to hire Carlos to do a massive yard cleanup, garden, cleanup, and stump removals. I am getting a home ready to sell, and it needed a lot of work. 13 foot stump was a tree that had grown around a chain-link fence. He chopped away the whole thing and had to replace a section of the chain-link fence. He put in a new garden and mulch in front, trimmed up some trees and cut away a lot of weeds. I highly recommend him."

"The options above do not encompass scope of work performed. Chad demoed old/installed new irrigation system. He demoed old flower beds/installed new stone flower beds/retaining walls in both front and back yards. He then brought in 10 yds of dirt to fill beds and grade yard to new concrete previously poured. Great care was taken to avoid damaging new concrete. I would put the stone work up against any I have seen given I requested and he accommodated sharp angles that required precise cuts. He was also very helpful in pointing me in the direction of the stone I ultimately picked for the job, which doesnâ t sound like a big deal, but it is given all the color choices and specific applications that are out there. To top it off, he communicated effectively throughout the process and he and his team were as professional as it gets. He also started the job within a week of us agreeing to move forward with the project and finished within a week of starting. It was just a great experience all around and I would recommend him to anyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
