"Tanner did a great job clearing our land of blackberries and piling all the downed trees up, leveling the soil and making our property so much more accessible and usable! He was very nice and polite and understood exactly what we wanted. We will hire him again for the next phase of our project!"

"Ken gave me great confidence when he came out in the pouring rain to bid my job. Where others thought that land clearing would be difficult, Ken saw no problem with pulling down trees from slopes and cleaning up after someone had already cut logs on my property. He promised the work would be done in a week. After me and every friend and relative I could wrangle into it spending every evening and weekend for two months doing the work that his team could have done in a week, I only wish I had taken him up on his bid. He sent me photos and references when he bid. And everyone I spoke with had terrific things to say about his company s work. If I had to do it over again, and I hope I never do, I would go with KP Transport and Excavation first."

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 best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

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.
