"A&M Excavating did a fantastic job on our property in Lincoln Park, NJ. Their Land Clearing service was fast, professional, and made a huge difference in preparing the site for our next project."

"Chris communicated well, started the project on time. He was patient, attentive to details. Listened to all requests and explained what can and can't be done and provided the optimum solution. He handles the excavator very well which allowed the job to be completed efficiently with high precision. If you need the job to be done properly and quickly he and his team can deliver."

"We recently had our backyard project completed, including land leveling, a retaining wall, and repairing pavers that had settled during the dirt hauling process. We are very happy with the final result. The contractor completed the work within the agreed timeline and delivered everything as discussed in the project scope. His pricing was reasonable, communication was excellent, and he paid close attention to detail. Any issues that came up during the project were addressed promptly and professionally. The before-and-after photos speak for themselves—the transformation is outstanding. If you’re looking for someone who provides quality workmanship, fair pricing, and delivers what they promise, I highly recommend him. I would confidently refer him to my family and friends."

"Stopped by almost immediately and Got a fair quote and was the cheapest. 2 other contractors never even showed up and one just looked at google maps to give me an estimate. It wasn’t a big job (2 car driveway), but when I was ready for the work, they showed up the next day as agreed to do the demolition and compacted stone/ gravel. They called and asked me on what day would be best for the paving and I told them asap or Thursday. They showed up first thing on Thursday and finished the job in about 2-3 hours. They then cleaned up everything and the driveway looks great! They did a fantastic job at a great and fair price! Very respectful of neighbors and my property! I would definitely use them again and I highly recommend them!!"

"The lights look amazing. Conti Landscaping did an excellent job, and I couldn't be happier with their exceptional service. They were not only punctual but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process. What impressed me the most was their attentiveness to my preferences â they listened carefully and executed the job exactly as I envisioned. My holiday landscape looks stunning, thanks to their outstanding work. Highly recommend!"

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 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.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.
