"If you’re looking for a contractor who’s fair, upfront, and someone who’s looking to go above and beyond, Brad is your guy. I hired him to take on a small project, cutting a hole in my foundation for an egress window. I’m fortunate enough to have a decent amount of experience in the trades and Brad’s pricing was fair and well priced. He was willing to help me with a smaller project that most contractors would pass on. I was surprised, he was extremely attentive and asked many questions to ensure that the job was done exactly how I wanted it. Before he started the job and charged me, he ensured that the window I had bought would fit correctly, that I had bought all the right materials to do the job after he made the cuts, and measured multiple times inside and outside prior to cutting. I felt very confident the job was going to go well and after everything it was perfect. He even made sure the window fit and I was satisfied. I can’t say enough good things about this guy."

"Lonnie and Phil are men of character and integrity. I appreciated teaming up with them on a significant project near Park City. There were several aspects that were completed during our time together, including a 19 hole golf course boasting the longest hole and highest elevation in Utah, a multimillion dollar golf course amenity building, miles of horizontal infrastructure and roads and setting the stage for hundreds of personal residences to be constructed. I highly recommend Crown Contractors and am confident your experience with this company will be exceptional throughout every facet of the build. Highly qualified, highly driven, fair, trustworthy and dedicated to delivering an exceptional product on time and on budget."

"Albretsen?s Concrete and Construction was awesome to work with. They did major excavation, poured large retaining walls, and poured a driveway for me. It was a big project and they did a great job."

"Carter with Terraform Groundworks was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him! He built a stunning rock retention wall in our backyard, and the results exceeded our expectations. Our yard presented some challenges, but Carter handled them seamlessly, showcasing his expertise and problem-solving skills. From start to finish, Carter was professional, kind, and incredibly hardworking. His project estimate was spot-on, and his attention to detail was evident in every aspect of his work. We were so impressed with the backyard transformation that we brought him back to upgrade our front yard as well, and once again, he delivered exceptional results. If you are considering an excavation or landscaping project, look no further Carter is the best choice. We could not be happier with his work and would absolutely hire him again!"

FAQs for excavation projects in Bountiful, UT

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.
