"The scope was excavate, grade, and install geo fabric, and compacted gravel walkways. Jerad was great to work with. He worked non-stop until the project t was completed and was very accommodating to my requests during the process."
"Dillon Excavation just completed a grading and drain system project for me on my horse property, and his work was exemplary. He was conscientious, punctual, thorough, and knowledgeable. The final cost was exactly what he quoted, and he was a pleasure to work with. Dillon’s integrity is top notch, and I’d absolutely hire him again and again."

"I just moved to Skagit Valley and know nothing about site preparation for my new house. The wooded, 1 acre lot had been partially logged but needed more tree removal, slash burning and major debris clean up. For the bid meeting, Dennis "Boomer" Hyatt arrived at the lot a few minutes early and had already sized up the project and offered new ideas as to how to best accomplish the project within my budget. I had been told it couldn't be done and I would have to do it in stages. Another contractor had bid a much higher price. We set a work date and started work on that date. His crew showed up on time and got to work immediately. The guys obviously knew each other and worked well as a team. They got the burn pile going, cranked up the chain saws and excavator and got to work. They worked steadiy both days and got the job done. the lot is absolutely builder ready and I couldn't be more pleased. I only hope the rest of my build project goes as well. They are going to back in the spring to help me put in the yard and reconfigure the driveway. Absolute 5 stars for this business."

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
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.
Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000,depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
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.
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.
