"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."

"Kevin from Kearns Earthscapes came to my house the day after a significant rain storm. My basement was flooding out and he spent a good 1.5 hours assisting me. Not only did he provide me various solutions and walk me through all the options, BUT he also helped with some of the clean up (and removal of water)! I was very impressed. He undoubtably will get my business when I push forward with the repair works. I would definitely recommend."

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.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

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.

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.
