"Nathan was professional and thorough. Completed everything in the bid on time and for the agreed upon price, which was very fair. Very good communication and follow through. We have a steep vineyard site that required extensive brush clearing and grading, along with a driveway that needed gravel replacement and resurfacing. We plan to use Nathan again for some annual maintenance of our site and can recommend him to others without reservation."

"Jerid and his crew did an amazing job on our site. From clearing the old out and prepping for the new home. Everything was done with professionalism. Jerid always had some amazing ideas and suggestions. No questions were stupid questions. Between Jerid and Brad there was an answer. We would definitely hire S4 again for our projects. We absolutely love how everything turned out. We really can't say enough about Jerid, Brad, Ty and Daydra!!"

"Adam contacted me Friday morning within 2 hours of scheduling an appointment on Home Advisor that was to be the following Monday. He came by within 30 minutes to give me an onsite estimate. He gave me an estimate, I accepted, and he started work the next day, done within several hours. Adam is a Veteran, hard worker, stuck to the task and confirmed a few things along the way and made a few great suggestions. He's the type of guy you'd enjoy as a neighbor! Thanks Again Skyline Excavation... and especially, thank YOU Adam! ~David and Lisa"

"Jerid Strasheim and S4 Excavation are a top-notch professional operation. We had them regrade and install Geocells on our old gravel driveway. They explained the process and costs very clearly, arrived at the time promised, worked diligently and made sure we were fully satisfied with the job before leaving. We would definitely hire them again."

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.

The physical constraints of hand-drilling a well limit the depth you can achieve. Manually digging with picks and shovels may only lead to shallow wells of up to 60 feet in depth. To reach greater depths, you need more specialized equipment. The diameter of your well and the tools you’re using will determine how far down you can dig.

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

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. 

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.
