Q: Does fire blight stay in the soil?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How much does pool excavation cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-excavation-cost.htm">cost for pool excavation</a> is <b>$2,500</b>. This cost can range from <b>$450 to $4,500</b>, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. </p><p>When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional <b>$15 to $25</b> <b>per linear foot</b> to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it&rsquo;ll cost an additional <b>$2,000 to $20,000</b>. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages <b>$450</b> to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages <b>$3,020</b>.</p></div>

Q: How long does an excavation project take?

• <div><p>Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate excavation costs?

• <div><p>Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you&rsquo;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.</p><p>Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it&rsquo;s tedious. You may want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-read-a-tape-measure.htm">pull out a tape measure</a> or use a string to help mark the area. </p></div>

Q: How close to the gas line can I dig?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homeowner-liable-damage-gas-line-contractor.htm">liable for hitting a gas line</a> in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.</p></div>
