"We recently had James come out to help clear an absolute mountain of overgrown blackberries in our yard, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, he was so kind, approachable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. His pricing was incredibly fair and transparent, and he didn't just meet our expectations—he went completely above and beyond with the quality of his work, turning a massive headache of a project into a clean, manageable space. We feel so lucky to have found him. We will definitely be reaching back out to him for future projects and are already recommending him to all our friends and family. If you need excavation or yard work done, James is your guy!!"

"James and his crew were amazing! Great, fast, and efficient work at a very fair price point. They were on point from the moment they showed up for the initial estimate all the way through the end of the project. I will be looking forward to working with them again on future projects."

"Working with Mid-Valley Excavation was an excellent experience. They took the time to come out and give a thorough bid inspection. They spent a good amount of time talking to us, listening to our wishes and needs and discussing project scope and requirements. They delivered a bid quickly and they were very responsive to follow-up questions and concerns. Their work is great, the end result was above and beyond my expectations. They were quick, efficient, and work with an attention to detail. It was a pleasure working with them. I would hire them again for future projects."

"This experience was the old time quality and service you hear your grandparents talk about. The crew showed up 15 minutes ahead of time ready to start. While a fairly non-complex job of removing existing material and leveling the sloping site with crushed gravel, all material removed was redistributed around the yard. The concrete work was carefully laid out, true and square. The finish completely uniform in spite of high winds blowing leaves into site. When they finished the job, the clean up was spotless. All debris was removed and the driveway and all adjacent concrete washed down. Several times during progress, I was consulted if they had a suggestion for improvement or question. Every one of the workers was courteous, polite and thanked us before leaving. Fast, efficient and cost effective."

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.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.
