"We had the front of our house landscaped. Aaron and his workers removed, the old shrubs and stumps, and planted the shrubs we had selected, mulched the entire area. They took all of the debris away and left a clean area. The results were amazing. Aaron is easy to work with, respectful and courteous. His rates are reasonable. We had him come back to remove a tree that had blown into the farmers field and trim a few others with low hanging branches. We also had him remove a dead tree from our granddaughters house. Work was done and we were left with a clean area. He also did some work for our son. Highly recommend him"

They had to regrade my entire yard, put new topsoil down, seed, regravel my driveway and trenched our downspouts to daylight. The employees were very polite and answered any and all questions and concerns I had. I would recommend them to anyone."

Stump was ground both there and near foundation of house. Top soil seed and hay were added and it has very much improved the landscaping. I highly recommend his services! Thanks so much Doug for your help!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.
