"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."

"Good work, fast work. But very expensive. But then, I did not compare much so maybe others are just as expensive. Explanation of work a bit fast for me to realize the consequences of certain work."

"Chris Sumpter (owner) was the only company to respond to numerous calls I made for a landscape company. I was not sure what I needed on my new lot. Chris came to meet me and told me his equipment was not suited for my project. He spent time with me explaining what I needed. This saved me time and anxiety. I went out and bought my own tools and will start myself with what needs to be done. I am so grateful for his time and expertise during the busiest time of the year. What a nice person to work with! I highly recommend giving him because of his clarity and great attitude."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

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.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

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.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.
