"Easton was great to work with and we would highly recommend him! He built our road and a campsite area next to our house, and then we hired him again to do our pad for our barn and an arena. He was always on time, professional, and did work that has held up well. We will definitely hire him again if we need another project, especially because his prices were great. 10/10 recommend"

"I hired Daniel and Oasis Landscaping and Excavation for a fence build project. Daniel was very prompt with response to my inquiry. He shows up in time and was very professional and helpful. He provided a detailed quote and was available to discuss. Very pleased with quality of work and the crew left everything in good order. I am happy to recommend and would definitely hire him again."

"Their work was excellent. I liked the text messaging and voice contacts that kept me up to date on the process. They removed a tall (dead) Aspen right next to my house and brought in the proper equipment to make sure everything went smoothly. I thought price/performance was first rate. The only reason I didn't give them straight 5.0s is a slight delay (unavoidable on their part) that I wasn't kept up to date on. I highly recommend them."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

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. 

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
