"We contracted Jacobs to excavate around a pool install from last August; our yard was a mess with trenches and mounds of dirt/sand left behind from the pool install. He offered practical solutions and delivered as promised. He did an awesome job and we will definitely have him back for the next phase of our pool project. He was professional and pleasant to deal with and we highly recommend Jacobs Plumbing.& Excavating!"

"We used Thorpe Site Solutions for a big land clearing project and I was blown away by the results. Harry handled everything with his Bobcat like a pro — he cleared brush, leveled the ground, and even hauled away all the debris with their dump trailer. Fast, clean, and efficient. If you need land cleared, this is the team to call!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

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.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

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.
