"Mike did an amazing job getting our yard back to its orgininal condition because we removed our 30 ft pool removed. He takes pride in his work and price was good. He is a very friendly guy who is easy to work with. He was very accomodating when we requested extra work. I would highly recommend his services!"

"Two young men came to my property, and I walked around and showed them what I wanted done. I was given a quote to have four flower beds weeded and mulched and two medium size bushed trimmed. When they came to do the work, I again walked around and showed them what I needed done. They started the work and about an hour and half into it, knocked on my door and said they would not be completing the rest of the job. They could come back another time and quoted an additional price of $250. When I questioned them later about this, they claimed that the price was not for all the areas I showed them. They also told me that some of the price was for gasoline to travel to the job. No mention was made on the quote about fuel charges. If the job was out of their area and required additional charges, they did not mention it when they quoted the price. For the two flower beds and two bushed they trimmed, they did an adequate job. I would not use them again. I was not happy with my experience."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
