"Excellent service. The pruning of the 2nd oak tree and the Hawthorne tree was done one day, and all other work done the next day. The 4-person crew was very professional, kind, and respectful of the property. The large oak I had removed was right up against a new fence, and not far from the side of my house. And, it was not in an area to get a bucket truck nearby. They arrived right on time at the start of the day and worked hard with minimal breaks - very impressive. They ground the stump from the large oak as well as grinding a couple of leftover stumps from previously removed holly trees. Their cleanup was superb! They even blew stuff off the top of my roof! And the wood cut down was nicely rolled together - not just dumped into a large messy clump! And, they were cheaper than another bid I got from a company here on Angie. I cannot recommend them high enough."

"They put in new drains and a dry well for our driveway, carport, and front yard. When the first dry well wasn't large enough to hold all the runoff from a heavy storm, they came back and added a second for free. Excellent customer service, very responsive, good work."

"Replacement 830 sq ft driveway for $9400 J. A. Holland construction gave me a new amazing, perfect, flawless driveway of 830sqft for $9400. This included a drainage system under the driveway from gutter downspouts detouring water away from the driveway, a light grey tint added to the concrete, demo removing the old driveway, correcting a slope, inspections, the concrete and a finish with a brushed texture. Reasons why I chose this company out of 6 bidders: 1. By checking CCB license through Oregon Construction Contractors Board using google. Thomas Holland, owner, has had the same license, unblemished, for over 10 years. Some of the others had their license for less than a year or had consumer complaints, problems attached to their license. 2. Thomas has an eye for potential problems and was the only one to suggest a drainage system under the driveway to collect water from the gutter of this old home. 3. Thomas does the work along with his crew, very important to me as I have had bad experiences with the contractor who has multiple jobs, sends a crew unsupervised. Example: One plumber decided he was not going to do a section of plumbing, signed off the job and had I not been there reporting him, that section of plumbing I paid for would have not been done. 4. I found over 10 great 'real' reviews on J.A. Holland Construction. could find no reviews or very little on the other bidders. 5. First impression of Thomas is an all around 'good' guy, straight forward, no phony sales pitch. 6. The price. Thomas came in low, tied exactly with another low bid, and this great price with the under driveway drainage system. The job: Demo: Took only 2 days and what a performance as neighbors also watched in awe, the street lined with heavy machinery in order of use and so organized as as the old concrete was lifted, put in the vehicle to be disposed of, gravel was put in place. Thomas is a master of heavy vehicle machinery, used a generous amount of gravel and had the job cleaned up by 5pm both days. 2. Forms installed, passed inspection. 3. The concrete pour was just as smooth and also passed inspection without incident. On one walkway I had done by another company, very little gravel was used and I noticed later a slight yellowish tan stain had appeared, found none of this with the work from Thomas, and believe it is because of the generous layer of gravel. In fact, I can not find one irregularity in the concrete."

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
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.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
