"I got ripped off. I paid $75 for the service call fee and another $484 for the fix that took 30 minutes of labor and part. I felt the price was steep but since they were already there, I went ahead and authorized to get it taken care of. Later, I went to Thumbtack and requested a few quotes. A highly rated plumber quoted me $220 for the whole job."

Morgan lumber was founded as a portable sawmill business but we also provide skid steer services, including driveway installation (of asphalt millings or concrete fines), land grading, bush hogging and a full tree service. We may not be a big organization, but honesty, integrity and just plain old hard work is a way of life for us and we are determined to complete your job to your upmost satisfaction. At Morgan Lumber and Earthworks, we work hard to do the best possible job, because we know word of mouth in the service industry can make or break a business. Call today to discuss your project.

In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Referred by Angi to Outlaw land management, he originally quoted $1,500 but said he machine broke and would have to rent one. If I wanted the job done I would have to pay extra to get it done, the price raised to $2,019.60. He came one day and his machine broke. I never saw him after that and only partial of the job was not done. Contacted Outlaw multiple times over a span of a month with no answer. I finally get an answer and request he finish the job. He sends another person but they did not clear all areas that was contracted for (2nd visit only cleared a small area, did not finish the job). After contacting Outlaw again multiple times with no answer for weeks, I finally got a hold of him, I requested a refund but only received a partial refund of $500. This seemed as though this is all I would get and accepted. However, I hired another company and they are telling me its going to cost more to clean up Outlaw Land Management's mess because they did everything wrong. Due to this I am wanting a full refund of the amount (after the $500 partial refund) due to their error and costing me more money to fix their mistakes!"

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.
