"I’m really happy with the rock wall RLP built for me. They did a great job, listened to what I wanted, and made it look just right. The wall feels solid and fits perfectly with the yard. I love how it adds a nice touch to the place. If you’re thinkin’ about getting a rock wall done, I’d definitely recommend these guys!"

"Nik was great! He came out quickly after we had a sprinkler line break and got it fixed up, then came back a few times to make sure it was good. I’d recommend him for any landscaping project."

"RFM Excavating did an excellent job! They were quick to respond, and so easy to communicate with. Rob was very friendly and kept us informed throughout the whole job. They completed our big (450 tons of dirt) backyard project in less than 4 days. Rob gave us multiple price options to choose from and even found ways for us to save money. We are beyond happy with our experience and would definitely recommend RFM Excavating to other."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

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.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.
