We are a small, yet fast-growing local company. Our specialties, however not limited to include pool installations and renovations, residential and commercial demo, land clearing and grading, excavation, concrete masonry, and hardscapes. As we always say "If you can conjure it, we can build it!" Call us today to discuss your next project!

"Usually when you hire a contractor, you hope and pray that they will complete the job according to specs and do it with respect and care. Not only did Shovel Kings complete our job and fulfill our vision, their work completely exceeded all expectations. Also, the modifications they suggested opened our eyes to unimaginable possibilities! While they weren’t the cheapest quote that we got, we are thrilled with the results and know they will stand behind their work. This is by far the largest job we’ve ever contracted and we were very nervous. I am happy to report this is the first large job where we received good value for our investment and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They were wonderful to work with and addressed all of our questions and concerns with old school honor and respect. Well done, Jordan family!! ?? **Please contact Shovel Kings if you would like to see the end result. We are happy to show it off!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

The cost to drill a well ranges, but for a well that’s roughly 150 feet deep, you could spend approximately $5,500. However, prices can fluctuate substantially due to factors like geological conditions, local regulations, and variations in drilling methods. For a more precise quote tailored to your location, research local well-drilling professionals in your area.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

The cost to dig a trench ranges from $400 to $1,200 per 100 linear feet, depending on the soil, depth, and width. Plan to spend $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching (it’ll be on the higher end if you have rocky soil). Renting a trencher costs $100 to $250 per hour, depending on the type of trencher.
