"Darren came out and looked over my project. He took readings from all over my yard with a laser thing. From 22 years of adding grass and dirt on top of grass and dirt,, my yard was 6 inchs higher in spots than my foundation. He could see my drainage problem and came up with the solution and FIXED it perfectly. He had all the proper equipment to do the job correctly. Darren was very meticulous, and I appreciated his being so as I had sprinkler pipes and buried elextric lines all over. None were broke! MEL will always be my go to sorce for yard drainage!!"

"Jerry and John were great! Started the project quickly and communicated very well through completion. I decided to go with them because I felt Jerry was honest and took the time to listen. I’m so glad I decided to choose them. They really took the time to understand my expectations and was always available to talk. Sometimes it can be stressful if you can’t be at the site everyday, but these guys always kept my mind at ease. Just great people. If you want good work with people you can trust and have your best interest in mind, choose Jerry and John."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.
