"I can?t begin to express what a wonderful experience it was working with these guys! They exceeded my expectations, and at a fair price. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and fast but detailed oriented. They listened to what I wanted, and gave helpful feedback to insure that my vision was created in the most cost effective way possible. They went above and beyond - I would recommend them to anyone! Both my father and sister work in different aspects of construction and were blown away with what they did. Don?t hesitate to reach out to them for all your grading and clearing needs. I had a bunch of storm damage from Helene, and site work that needed to be done prior to the actual grading (in two different places, on a small mountain at the SC/NC border). They did all of that, and used the wood chips and debris to help curb erosion. Super communicative, friendly, fair, and genuinely nice people. 10/10 experience!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
