"This is my first time using Home Advisor. I am so impressed. I hired Bulldog Cont, Inc. Chris the owner is smart, nice & really listens to what you are saying. I met with other people but between Rosemarie in Chris's office who schedules everything and his employees I would give them TEN STARS! Anyone who knows me; knows I do not give compliments that easily. I will be using Bulldog Cont, Inc. Excavating again. I already referred my neighbor to Chris. Not only is my property WOW & beautiful; they do not leave my home until everything was cleaned up. WOW... I haven't ever seen that before. THANK YOU once again Chris, Rosemario, & everyone who worked so hard!! It was so appreciated!!"

"I dealt with John and Dave. They were always very punctual, the proposal was specific it clearly stated what they would be doing, the size of the septic tank, overflow, main line and the cost. It was all done to code. They were polite, responsive and answered all my questions even after the work was completed, I wish I would have realized or been told how extensive the area that was disturbed would be. I would have removed more of the plants."

Small jobs welcome

"the company owner is on-site and serious about quality-control. My job was merely a short semi-circular apron/driveway from a backyard shed to an existing walkway. I was pleasantly surprised that he took this small job, considering the speed and coordination needed to parcel out a partial concrete truckload. The price was favorable compared to other estimates. In short, a great owner and a perfect framing/pour/grading/finishing, at a favorable price. Would definitely use them again, and highly recommend them,"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
