"?????????? Excellent Land Clearing Service! I couldn?t be happier with the land clearing work done by Ag Site Services. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and easy to work with. The crew showed up on time, had all the right equipment, and got the job done faster than I expected ? without cutting any corners. They cleared several acres of thick brush and trees on my property, and the results are incredible. Everything was cleaned up neatly, and they even graded the ground to make it look smooth and ready for the next phase of my project. The price was fair, and the quality of work was top-notch. If you?re looking for reliable land clearing done the right way, I highly recommend Ag Site Services. They exceeded my expectations in every way!"

"B&B Land worx is different from the competition. I would say they are very professional. Customer service and communication is huge for me and they can have all 5 stars for that category. Ive called competitors, if you could even call them that, no one would show up or even call back. They might have answered but thatâ s it. B&B wanted my business and they wanted me to feel like I was getting my moneys worth. Having me check their progress as they progressed. Iâ m very pleased with the clearing and beautiful driveway. I work with contractors daily, I facilitate their work to complete house projects. I believe my review will hold some weight from experience. Do yourself a favor and hire these guys!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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.

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.

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.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
