"The Fadale Team did an excellent job! Punctual, courteous and did the work that they said they would do in a timely fashion. Would absolutely hire again and again. This is the ACTUAL job discussed in the 6/6/2017 review. I am the ACTUAL customer who is VERY happy. I failed to mark a property line which led to my new drainage pipe cross the property line. This was brought to my attention by my neighbor, I spoke to the Fadale team who quickly returned a phone call and put a plan into motion to correct my error. Thank you Fadale team and sorry neighbor! Please disregard the 6/6/2017 negative review from an angry neighbor."

"Jonathon was GREAT--his customer service was EXCELLENT--We had him do several jobs for us and our daughters house----He trimmed tree limbs--trimmed all of our bushes--took out 4 LARGE OVERGROWN bushes--planted new bushes--replaced stone for a DRIVEWAY--cleaned the backyard debris--PRESSURE WASHED A 3 story aluminum sided house--cleaned all the gutters for 2 houses--put top soil in the entire backyard and seeded--took all the excess debris from all the projects away--ALL WITHIN THE BUDGET THAT I HAD--the only suggestion that I would have for his business is to make his quotes a lot more detailed and go over his quote in person or by phone call BEFORE he starts the job"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.
