"Last week, I hired Jason Excavating again for a driveway job to install the catch basin in front of my house. He did an excellent job. He's extremely responsible, very knowledgeable about his work, and an excellent person. I will always recommend him. He goes the extra mile in his work. I'm always grateful."

"Cornman Concrete and Paving completed a very large rear patio removal and replacement. Our property wasn't the kindest for access to the area, however, they worked with it. Jeff was attentive from the first meeting to estimate to the last handshake upon completion. It took a while because of weather interruptions but they never put us behind when they started our job when it worked to keep it moving. The project involved 2 very large flat areas and two stamped concrete concave steps. They construct to last - top quality. They overdo so they don't have to re-do is a true statement. All turned out GREAT!! Very pleased with the finished project. The crew arrived on the first day and moved a gazebo to start the job and returned to help re-place it when all was set. Truly take pride in customer relations and leaving a job as I think they would want it left if at their own residence. We would highly recommend giving them a try. We won't hesitate to call them back for other projects beyond our abilities."

"TCK Land Service did a excellent job clearing my fence rows on my little farm. He gave me a very good price on the work he did. Tyler was on time and worked very well with what asked him to do. Would definitely get him back for my next project. Tyler told me he does other jobs also other than just land work. Very nice and polite young man."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

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.

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.
