Is it better to dig a trench by hand or machine?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

How do you calculate excavation cost?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

"Jonathan provides excellent communication prior to & during the project. He coordinates with other professionals as needed to complete his projects such as landscaping, as was needed in our case. A shout out to Tony Angeli & his crew for their landscaping layout & skills. In our case, Jonathan not only had to tear out a significant amount of old shrubbery & dispose of it, but did minor regrading, provided a French drain with tie-ins to our downspouts, & provided a finished landscape project with a very impressive finished project. Another shout out to his dad, John, who worked side by side with Jonathan on our project. This crew is very impressive, hard-working, and determined to satisfy every need of their customer. I cannot recommend them more highly. Thank you to all involved in our project!"
