"I can't remember the gentleman's name who did the work, but he explained everything about the project. He did an amazing job and was respectful not only to me and my property, but also to my neighbors. He cleaned up after and I was happy to have clean, functional, and secure gutters.at a fair price. I would definitely recommend Nickel City Property Maintenance."

"In talking with the owner of the business, who was also on site helping perform the tree & stump removal, I found he and crew will go the extra mile to satisfy the customer and do it all with safety in mind. Tree and stump removal could not have gone better including clean up and topsoil seeding. Dylan and Devan truly enjoy the work they do and take pride in providing a quality job using the appropriate equipment."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

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.

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.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.
