"Gallagher Grading did an excellent job removing 60 tons of landslide debris in two days. All excavation to dig out retaining walls, stairway, a garage and scraping and cleaning mud off my driveway was done with utmost care and no damage was incurred. Edward and his men were professional, prompt, quiet, well-mannered, and responsible. High work ethic coupled with very competitive and transparent pricing makes this company not to miss. No hidden charges, no price inflation. Job was run smoothly and efficiently and all precautions were made, taking the size of the 10 ton load trucks, not to disturb my neighbors here in Bel Air. For all excavation and grading services, I would highly recommend Gallagher Grading."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
