"I needed a couple of very large bushes to be cut down, they came on a Friday to look at the job and offered to do the job on Monday for a very reasonable price. They were very quick and efficient and went above and beyond the job. You won't go wrong hiring these guys for any job you might have."

"Tony was very prompt, professional and efficient. He made sure he knew exactly what I needed done and checked with me regularly during the project to make sure I was satisfied with the results. I have already asked him to consider doing another major project because of his excellent work, fair price and thorough communication."

"Travis did an amazing job. He came and cleared out so much junk and debris and old fallen trees from our backyard and hauled everything away. He got the job done right and super fast. Will be hiring again soon!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

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.

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.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
