"Hired Charlie even though he was roughly 20% more than the other bids I got. He came highly reviewed so after being burned by a previous contractor I did not want to take chances. It all started off good. His work is great and the end job was well done. The issue is he did not do the entire job that we originally agreed upon which included taking trash left over from a demo from the previous contractor. Also, he did 90% of my yard and grass seeded it but then at the end says the agreement did not include the other 10% which was also messed up and needed to be done. Who in their right mind would not want the other 10% done as well even if it cost a little more? I told him originally I wanted the entire yard done and trash gone When we originally talked I told him I wanted a contract, I asked him two more times before he even started working. Even at the end of the work I still do not have a contract. He finished 85% of what we agreed upon and then still expected his entire payment, now I seen why he did not make a contract. Then he got mad and threatened to call the zoning officer on me for the trash that he left on my back porch, and would not you know it the zoning officer shows up a few days later to give us a warning. So much trash that it broke the back porch so that now it needs to be repaired. He also cracked my concrete entry to my driveway with his dump truck which I will also have to get fixed. In conclusion, Charlie does good work but make sure you get a contract before he does any work because he will change the agreement on you and still expect full payment."

Excavation services FAQs

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

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.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.

While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs. 

In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
