"I hired Brad (On Grade Construction) because his bid was thorough and detailed. My job necessitated the removal of a lot of tree roots, which he did methodically and painstakingly. He had the perseverance and all the necessary equipment to do the job as thoroughly as I had hoped. For the most part Brad is a one man show so he is the guy who is there on the job, doing the labor, answering questions and making suggestions. He was approachable and easy to talk to. I like that. For the same reason, the job took a little longer than I might have hoped in the beginning, but the end product is well done and completely satisfactory. Brad is forthright in explaining his costs and rates, and was honest in deducting costs when they turned out to be less than he had anticipated. The actual price of my finished job was slightly less than his original bid. Brad was honest, hard-working, and I am very pleased with my new curb, gutter and sidewalks."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

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.

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.
