"Mr. Eddie was quick to respond and give me a quote. Him and his son were very nice and knowledgeable about the safest way to get a tree down that was dead. They were quick to come out and get the tree down and moved out of the way. I would definitely highly recommend them to anyone."

"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. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.
