The owner took the initiative and contacted me within days of my purchase. I sent him pictures of my existing sidewalk and prior to his first visit, we discussed the job by phone. I was impressed with the owner on his first visit; however, he never provided any sort of rough drawing for the new sidewalk planned. We discussed several options, all of which I thought were included in the quoted price. It turns out they weren't. The first day on the actual job, the owner and his associate pulled up all my existing slate and moved both it and the extra excavated dirt to an agreed upon spot in my back yard. Although I was impressed with how hard they worked, at the end of the day (a Friday), I asked them to remove a heavy trailor and front loader from off my newly seeded lawn. They moved the front loader, but left the heavily laden trailor. The owner did not return my calls to ask him to get the heavy equipment off the yard. It remained there until the following Monday. Over the course of the next two months that it took to complete the job (weather was a partial factor), I was disappointed on several occasions when stone, debris; and in one case, my entire water hose winder (with hose) was taken out of my back yard and left on my grass in the front. (The reason for hauling the hose to the front was reasonable; the fact that they left it there was not). The color did not come out as promised. On the last day of the job, I had to leave while the owner came to the house to give the sidewalk the final seal. I left out a roll of yellow caution tape plus a couple of chairs so he could block off the newly sealed sidewalk. When I came home, the job was done and the roll of tape was gone. This was a small thing, but after my frustration at the lack of professionalism over the two months of the job, I wanted the roll back. I called the owner who promised to return the roll over the weekend. I never heard from him again. Overall, I do love my new sidewalk... but it was a bit of a painful process. I never made this report before because the owner is a very nice and personable young man trying to do a difficult business. I report this only because the same coupon is being offered again.

He was doing work for a neighbor so I asked him for a quote on some work I wanted done. I was quoted $708 for the concrete (required as a downpayment) and $150 for labor due on delivery. He did not get a permit, did not complete the excavation or the installation of the forms for the concrete. What he did dig out is not correct and the forms he did put down are not level with the existing driveway. He left a mud pit in my yard on one side of my driveway and a pile of dirt on the other. His initial measurements for the dig out were a foot short from what we agreed to. My neighbor measured his driveway after the concrete was poured and discovered it was a foot and a half short from what they agreed to. He moved the line in my yard after I caught it. He misrepresented other concrete work in the neighborhood as his own. Aside from my neighbor the only other driveway that I could confirm he had done, the owner was not happy with the quality of his work. He told me that he did not need a permit, but that if I wanted one that I could go get one - they were only $150. After a call to the city by me neighbor, I found out there is a requirement for an apron permit that cost $35 and that it is the contractor who should pull the permit since the inspector is inspecting his work. He routinely missed deadlines and promises for when he would be on site and what would get done. After over a month of waiting for him to come back and finish the job and no contact, I just want my money back. When he would not call or answer the phone, I left him a detailed voice mail that told him I wanted him to pull a permit, finish digging out the forms to code depth, put a level on the forms and get the truck there or that he could just give me my money back minus the labor he had already done for partial excavation.

FAQs for excavation projects in Virginia Beach, VA
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12per 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 $25per 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 $200per 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 $180per 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 $100per 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.
