"It can be difficult  to find any contractor, involving a  homeowner service of any technical nature or  aesthetic importance that truly is impressive.   Well, we found one.   His firm is all any homeowner could hope for …  and more.   He’s incredibly reliable, when so many vendors are not.   He explains things clearly and stands by his promises.   He’s courteous to a fault. More than courteous, he’s genuinely friendly and outgoing…, in every respect a pleasure to deal with.   Important in terms of why we hired Shear Concrete, Trent has a conspicuous pride in his customer service and quality of workmanship. It’s far beyond what any homeowner reasonably could expect … and it’s at absolute the highest level.   Equally impressive, Trent‘s  service is provided at a fair price and precisely what the consumer was promised.   The workmanship was spectacular. Many contractors would think that a sidewalk simply is, well, “a sidewalk”. Not to Trent. His design AND workmanship are special … superb actually. Drive by and see for yourself … our Beloit address is below. Large brick house on Milwaukee Road, one lot short of Chapin.   Our crowning compliment is that we were so pleased with Shear Concrete’s work and friendly and businesslike approach that we immediately retained the company for ANOTHER PROJECT.   Anyone seeking more information is free to call Alan Truesdale @ 608.530.2893 Our address is 726 Milwaukee Road.   My best, Alan Truesdale"

Excavation services FAQs

Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.

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.

The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type. 

When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.

Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.

While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs. 

In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
