"The job was done in a timely manner. They were quick and did exactly what was requested. I showed up to the house to pay and they were all professional and busy cleaning the area they had worked in. Very happy with how fast they were able to get this project done. When I had returned the areas were cleaned and raked and it looked as if no one had been there."

"We recently hired Price Peak Services to perform some basic landscape services and we are very pleased with the results. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They provided a clear, detailed estimate and stuck to it throughout the project. The workers were incredibly professional and punctual. Additionally, they made sure to clean up the workspace before leaving. The quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding, and our yard looks completely transformed. I highly recommend Price Peak Services to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled labor contractor!""

"We called Precision excavation in hopes to get our 5 acres cleared and graded before having a new fence put in, Daniel the owner was amazing to work with, he gave us fast responses, came out the next day for a free estimate, and really took care of and listened to what or view was for our yard. He was so informative and let us know exactly what we needed to get our yard looking amazing! Not only did he complete the tasks we were looking for but also helped us drill holes for new fencing to be put in, Thank you so much to Daniel and Precision Excavating for giving our home a new beautiful look and keeping us under our budget on the project we highly value your business and will recommend all to use your services!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

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.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

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