"We chose EarthWise to correct 45+ years of erosion re-grade widen a 100 -long S-shaped gravel driveway at our home. Included was design, excavation construction of a new 5 high dry-stack retaining wall. The whole EarthWise crew was skilled pros who did all parts of the job efficiently and with good cheer. Everyone worked well together and were easy for us the homeowners to deal with throughout the job. The results of last week's project were not only first-rate from an engineering standpoint, but also the aesthetics of their work is outstanding. Our rebuilt driveway is beautiful. Earthwise gives excellent value for the fees they bid and they do the kind of high-quality, heavy-machinery work that is far beyond any DIYer. Check out their website (https://earthwiseearthworks.com/) for photo samples of what they can do for you. We would recommend Dominic Dahl-Bredine and his EarthWise crew to anyone."

They were really easy to work with and walked me through the whole process with constant updates with each step performed. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work done in a timely and professional manner."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

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.

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.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

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.
