"The quality of the work and responsiveness were top notch. It has been a pleasure doing business with Creative Bobcat Concepts; Cory is extremely honest, hard working, very knowledgeable about excavation best practices, and provides very reasonable and fair pricing. Within hours of my request for quotation, Cory drove 1 ½ hours to examine the work necessary, provided a quotation the next day, and completed the job in a timely manner within the highest standards of quality. Thank you Cory, Creative Bobcat Concepts has my highest personal recommendation."

"I met Blaine and his father, Ron in December. I instantly knew they were the people I wanted to do the job. As we walked around my yard I was impressed with their knowledge and courtesy. I was particularly happy to hear they'd been in this business for 3 generations. I interviewed two other companies getting the obligatory 3 references. The difference between the 2 and Blaine was night and day. Neither of them really knew what they were doing. One, it seemed had to check with my engineer on every step. Blaine knew exactly what to do without consulting anyone (except sometimes his dad)- they were a Team! They are the experts. The job was finished sooner than expected. I've never seen people work so efficiently.. They worked in tandem with the structural engineers specifications. Although I don't think they needed his instructions. They left a very clean worksite (after excavation work!) I highly recommend this excellent company."

I started off in a skid steer at young age with my family owning an excavation business and became very interested at a young age. I’ve been in excavation full time since I was 15 years old working at 2 grading company’s one residential and the other commercial to better my knowledge for whatever the job throws at my crew and I.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
