"Karp Excavating did a super job clearing some land for us. Installed a driveway and leveled a pad site for a pole barn. They were timely and professional. We were very happy with the work. The barn started and I needed stone. I called and with in 1 hour I had two triaxle loads of stone. Zoe the dog was also there. She is the project manager. Haha"

"There is not enough space here for me to tell you how happy I was to discover RMcK Excavating. Roger is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the consummate professional. I originally hired him to rebuild a roadside culvert which was eroding dangerously close to my driveway. I was so impressed with the job he did that I hired him to build a retaining wall, install an underground propane tank, patio, walkway, lay down 7500 square foot of asphalt driveway, install perimeter drainage, repair a crack in my foundation, and custom design and build a firing range in my back yard. Roger is extremely skilled. He spent hours studying my project, brainstorming with me on how best to achieve my objectives, educating me about things like hydrostatic pressure, water flow and excavation that I didnâ t know, and helped me to make informed decisions. The finished product is outstanding and was completed at a fair price. If you need ANYTHING done that involves excavation/paving/concrete/drainage or hardscape RMcK would be my first...and only call!"

"When we purchased our home there were existing brick pavers in the yard. However, they were old and didn't really serve a purpose in the way they were placed. Meehan Renovations excavated the old pavers and replaced them with new ones, building us a nice patio area that is about 10 x 10 or so. They also made a walkway from our deck (which they also built) to the patio.  We  couldn't be happier. We would definitely recommend Meehan Renovations.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

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 best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.
