"Had an old wooden retaining wall replace with block. Price was great and wall looks awesome! The workers were friendly and professional. Helped me out with a few extras. I think I didn’t explain one part of what I wanted very well. They came back out and made sure I was satisfied. I am now looking at another project for them since that one went so well. They were always quick to respond and we got it scheduled and completed way faster than expected even with a couple rain days."

"R&R Hauling is a great company! We requested for them to clear out a severely overgrown backyard full of chest-high, woody weeds and 1-2 inch thick saplings after the task proved to be too big of a job for my family to complete in a timely manner. I've always been incredibly anxious about paying for labor, as I catastrophize about worst case scenarios all the time, but when I reached out to Robert and his team, I was quoted a much better value than I had expected! Once the job was completed, Robert made sure we were happy with the work. I would definitely recommend his team to friends and family given the opportunity, and they will be the first business we call, should any other major yardwork be required on the property. Thank you so much, Robert and team!!"

"Ideal Renovations did a wonderful job renovating two of our tri-plex rental units. They were able to help us with plumbing issues, electrical issues, replace drywall, and hvac replacement. The owner and staff were professional and friendly I would hire them again and recommend them to others."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

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.
