"These good folks arrived to do a rather small job (which another company said was too small for them), and when the owner came out to provide an estimate, he recommended other work that his organization could do when we were ready to bring them back! I was so impressed by their approach - both the estimate for the initial work as well as their suggestions for future work - that my wife and I decided to incorporate their recommendations immediately. The bottom line is the work was completed before the time they said they would need, they totally exceeded our expectations, and we would strongly recommend this organization to neighbors and friends! They deserve five stars across the board! Totally Satisfied in Williamsburg, VA"

"Oscar cleared brush and high grass on about an acre along the back of my property. The property is irregular shaped, uneven terrain with multiple trees. He brought in the appropriate equipment, showed up when promised and did a great job. His prices are fair and I would definitely use him again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

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.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.
