The work required some creativity and Rick worked with us to determine the best solution. Overall we are very pleased with his work and will look to him for future jobs."

"Joshua is a pleasant professional, well mannered young man. Who shows up on time and ready to work. He pays close attention to what is being requested of him and he is very detailed oriented.. This is the 2nd time I have hired Joshua for my outside projects. He does an amazing job. He mowed my lawn front and back while providing clean edges… He trimmed my shrubs, pulled massive weeds and he cleaned it all up by putting everything in lawn bags. He also set the bags out to the curb for city pickup. My property was clean beautiful and free of grass & shrub debris. I would definitely recommend him for your projects. I will be calling him again for fall cleanup/trim and for other odd jobs on the inside as well.. Lastly, but most importantly his prices are reasonable & he does not disappoint!"

"Hans is the best! I have used West River Excavating and Tree Removal many times over the years. Hans is great. He shows up on time, works efficiently, and the price is great. Of the many projects he has done for me some include removing 7 large trees close to the house and regrading the yard to improve the drainage. No more wet basement in the summer and no frozen sidewalks in the winter. He also removed several dead trees from around the parking area and regraded the driveway to reduce erosion during intense summer rains. Can?t say enough great things about the work done."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

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.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.
