"Ryan Costello and son , did a terrific job excavating Hugh rocks buried in our backyard. Then transforming them into designing flower beds and refurbishment of a retaining wall. Leveling the surrounding area and reading the ground for numerous mid to large trees to be planted. When job was completed, they did a great clean up and within the promised time frame."

"They contacted us immediately and got the permit very fast. It took 3 days from start to finish. I would recommend this company for any excavating needed as well as installing a new septic system. They care about doing the best work for you and it shows. Fantastic company!"

"We cannot recommend Bill and his team at Central Oregon Excavation highly enough! We have been working with them for close to a year as we renovate our retirement home and have used Bill and his crew for several different projects. Every project has been completed professionally, on time, and with great attention to detail. Bill’s communication throughout the entire process has been invaluable—not only regarding the scope of his own work, but also in helping us understand and plan around many other aspects of the overall renovation. His team consistently shows up on time, works hard, and clearly takes pride in the quality of their work. Bill has been dependable, knowledgeable, straightforward, and easy to work with throughout the process. After nearly a year and several projects together, we would not hesitate to use Central Oregon Excavation again and highly recommend Bill and his team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional excavation contractor."

"Cavallero Earthworks came to our home when he said he would be here. He sat and listened as we explained our problem. He took charge: filled out forms, contacted the proper county agency, gave us a bid amount and my husband and I just sat there in the kitchen after he left awestruck by the proficiency and speed in which Ben handled everything. He took time out of his busy schedule and was in constant contact with us, keeping us informed of where we were in the process. He stayed focussed on the task and completed it quickly and efficiently. Professional, good communicator, proficient on the equipment, knowledgeable in his line of business, and just a really nice person! My husband and I appreciate Cavallaro Eartworks and wish them the best."

Small jobs welcome

"We were very pleased with both the quality of the work and the experience of working with Parker. Parker was a breath of fresh air compared to the excavators we talked to before trying Angi. He spent time with us looking at the ruts in our 30-year old driveway, discussed solutions and options, and gave us a fair, detailed quote so we knew exactly what to expect. He communicated with us every step of the way, so scheduling and knowing what to expect were a breeze. Parker and his crew arrived exactly when they said they would. They worked hard all day to strip the driveway and change the slope, so water drains down the hillside rather than pooling. They put down new rock, graded it, and then rolled it, so in the words of my husband, “Our gravel driveway is as smooth as asphalt.” Our family, regular visitors, and delivery drivers are very pleased with the end result. It was a pleasure doing business with Parker, and we are very glad we found him."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
