Anthony & Sylvan Austin has been building custom pools in Central Texas for over 40 years, serving communities from Lake Travis to East Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and beyond. Our expert design consultants understand Austin’s rocky terrain and hot climate, ensuring your custom concrete or fiberglass pool is built to last. Whether you’re dreaming of a luxurious backyard retreat or a practical family pool, we guide you through every step—from design to construction—helping you choose the best tile, coping, and features to complement the natural beauty of Central Texas. Plus, every pool is backed by the Anthony & Sylvan Lifetime Structural Warranty for peace of mind. Call now to schedule your FREE 3D design consultation, exclusively for Angi members!

"The process started strong and communication was good but after a month into the process the site supervisor (as she was called) started to hide from us when on site, requested texts and pics instead of showing up in person when she planned to show, and answering questions became concerning. After 85% work was accomplished she pressured a survey on us for an uncompleted pool and after the survey was sent in she was almost non existent and many items still needed to be completed; the office manager was instrumental in the logistics and completion of unfinished work. Luke; a service technician, was the most professional, competent and informative member of the team/company. Overall: Too many questions and issues were left unfinished and a district manager had to be brought to the site to get the job completed and that was a major red flag. The unskilled labor and lack of English speaking workers was the norm and only a few times was an interpreter available on the phone. After all the stress, and headaches we endured did we finally get a good pool. Overall the negative overshadowed the positive in the experience. Luke's help and equipment knowledge was the best thing about the build."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

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.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.
