"Alex Valentin and his team did an excellent job on my front yard. I appreciated that he or his office manager kept me informed of their preceding projects' progress and their estimated arrival time (the work was done in one session, the start of which was affected by rain events). All the plants he provided were healthy and the pre-agreed size. The black mulch was good quality wood, triple shredded. I recommend this company."

"Douglas with Douglas Land and Landscaping installed a drainage line to the curb to stop the water ponding on the northside of the house. He also created a garden in my front yard and installed sod to the front yard and a sprinkler system. He also repaired the flagstone sidewalk to my front yard. All work was professionally completed. My wife and I love the work that was completed. Good prices. I strongly recommend Douglas Land and Landscaping Augustine and Karin Rodriguez Atascocita, Texas."

"New ground irrigation installed pavers lighting, covering, plants and stone bordering. Caesar and Mariano gave me a first class customer experience! Initially what separated them from the pack was their attention to detail and their willingness to win the job -we basically had minimal negotiations and were able cut to the chase and find that sweet spot between each of our bottom lines. As the job was being done Caesar and Mariano was on site each day and with a consistent fantastic crew. The work and the design was impeccable -I was more than pleased!! I had a contractor that was doing work on the inside of my house and they were even impressed with their process and the equipment/machinery they brought to the site to professionally compact, cut, execute etc. the job effectively and professionally. I will hire them again to design my backyard and for whatever else I need to keep my new Oasis beautiful."

"Scott’s team did an excellent job taking out our existing stone patio and walkway, clearing out tree roots and professionally laying it back. They also installed drainage next to patio. Everything looks great!"

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.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
