"I hired Chris to do a several things around the house which included: installing a new bottom floor for a bathroom drawer, railings going down to our basement, a handle going into our garage, and assemble a bathroom chair. Chris was very professional, neat, precise, and has a strong work ethic. His work was flawless and was done in a timely manner. When he came to do an initial estimate, he was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what products to purchase to get everything done. He is the best contractor I have ever had! I will definitely be hiring him again for future projects!"

We are a full service Excavation and Trucking Company with 30+ years of experience. Specializing in Complete Septic System Installation and Repair. New or Failing System we perform perk and have Design Engineers we work with your particular project. Demolition of any Building and removal of debris. We do not perform septic pump outs.
"Septic tanks were left exposed, site was a mess, and vent pipe was not at the required height. We talked with him a month before we anticipated water connection, so he knew our timelines. We attempted to contact him every day for a week to schedule final inspection after water was connected, but got no response. It took two emails from the city for him to sign the certificate of compliance."

"I think this contractor signed up on Angie's List in April, 2018. I received a quote from him in May and he started mowing my lawn shortly thereafter. He wasn't the cheapest but he was responsive and for the first month and a half, he showed up every week. After he mowed my lawn a few times, he asked me to write a review, which I did. I have since asked Angie's List to take it down. In July, he became very unreliable. I have a small yard and I think he ended up with enough new business, that he decided he really didn't need my business anymore. He would promise to show up on a certain day and didn't. I had to keep e-mailing him to see when he would be cutting my lawn. The last e-mail I sent him, he responded that he was behind because of all the rain we had. (He promised to show up on a certain day and never showed up or e-mailed me back) He was already barely cutting my lawn every two weeks and with the heavy rain, my lawn was really long. I never heard from him again. I paid the two invoices he sent me as requested and on time. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and he left me in a bind when I had to pay double just to get my lawn length back to normal. I think he was very unprofessional in how he handled himself. I think he should have made it right and cut my lawn, even if said he wouldn't do it after that. I will never recommend him to anyone."

"I would not recommend these guys to my worst enemy. The asphalt started breaking up and the grass growing right through it along the edge where I had them widen the driveway withing the first couple months. You can see all the seam lines and these weird black blotches from day 1 all over the driveway. After calling and emailing several times they finally came by and heated up the spots that the grass was growing through and just tamped it back down and called it fixed. Obviously not even a month later the same problem started again. I gave them an out by saying how about you come and seal it and we call it good even though it really should be redone because obviously they did not do the base correctly on the side they widened. They BS'd me for the entire year saying every month they were coming by the end of the month and never showed up. They were the highest priced bid that I got from several companies but I told him I didn't mind paying more I just wanted it done right. Big mistake. The guy seems like a total loser. I tell everyone I can that mentions getting a driveway to not go with these clowns."

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.
