How do you calculate excavation cost?

• <div><p>Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.</p></div>

How deep are water lines buried?

• <div><p>Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-deep-are-sprinkler-lines.htm">sprinkler lines are buried</a> between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.</p></div>

Is it better to dig a trench by hand or machine?

• <div><p>It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.</p></div>

Russel Jessop at RussKo Construction Is extremely knowledgeable in the construction and remodel field. We had a 65 x 17 foot RV garage + a 20 x 10 shop/garden room built which included a full bathroom. Throughout the entire process, Russel would always give us several options to choose from. We...

These guys definitely know how to use the heavy equipment efficiently. I had them dig a 2 foot trench about 45 feet in length. They had to negotiate obstacles (roof eves, misc. clothline post, etc.). They had the trench dug, raised the back hoe in place to allow the propane line guy to do his...

Trevor is very professional and easy to work with. He is very straight forward and reasonably priced. His crew, and in particular Luise, were very good and Luise is very impressive on how accurate he is with the back hoe when excavating. Very little damage was done to our landscaping because...

They did a great job. We had just had new sod and sprinklers install shortly before they did the work. They were able to refill all the trenches and holes to almost perfect condition so the landscape company was able to easily reconnect the sprinklers and relay the sod. The ground was starting...
