"1) Trees were not trimmed satisfactorily per oral agreement at 7030 Krause, Missouri City, Tx 77489. The agreement was that all tree limbs from neighbors trees would be removed at the property line front and back of house. Provider only removed leaves that were leaning on my house (he said he misunderstood-I just let it go but new I would never use him or referrals from Angi's List again.) (2) At 4818 Callery Creek, Houston, Tx 77053 provider was instructed to remove any limps from neighbor's house leaning across property line, especially those in front leaning on roof. He only removed a few limbs that were leaning on house. He did not remove all of the limbs crossing the property line in front yard. At this same residence he was to kill weeds between two adjourning fences in back yard. Neighbor complained that provider came on their property w/o permission, removed pickets from their side of the fence to get to weeds (he did put the pickets back somewhat), sprayed weed killer that killed plants that she brought from native country that had been handed down from her Mother and Grandmother, pickets were not put back satisfactorily. When I asked how they would get this part of the job done, I was told he got to the weeds between fences by climbing and straddling the two fences. Now I was not present when they completed this job but I did drive around to see if jobs were completed satisfactorily - as stated above, only 1 of 3 were done to original agreement."

We are a small American owned company specializing in excavation work and lot clearing. All workers have cleared a background check. We are licensed and bonded. This is an owner operated business, operated by a USMC veteran.

"Needed to find someone to complete some huge tasks in short period of time; and without breaking my budget. Word of mouth, I'd gotten some great reviews from some neighbors and friends of mine regarding this local company. I explained my situation, and how I needed this work completed pretty quickly since I was getting ready to travel. They sent a very friendly representative that same day whom provided me with some great ideas on how to save some money, was will to work within my budget, and provided a free quote. I quickly scheduled them for that week, and they came through for me in a big way. Their team was very professional, they cleaned-up after themselves, and I was left with peace of mind before I needed to leave. Great crew; will definitely call them back if I should get more work for them."

Excavation services FAQs

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

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 cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.

While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs. 

In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
