"This is an honest company. I've worked with other contractors before, and there's always something; a delay, an unexpected cost, something! But not with Will and Corey. I hired them to build a small bathroom in the upstairs level of a home we purchased for our daughter. They helped us pick out the fixtures, respected our price parameters and were just all around good guys, They cleaned up everyday after themselves, arrived each day when they said they would and built a beautiful, small bathroom that we are very pleased with. You will not go wrong trusting your project with Loomis Bros."

"I have been dealing with RJ Lawn and Landscape for almost 2 years now. I Signed a contract with RJ in January of 2022, for a patio surrounding an inground pool, small deck from the door to the patio, landscaping, fence and fire pit. This project was supposed to be completed in October/November of 2022. RJ did not complete this project in 2022, and now in November of 2023 it is still not completed because RJ has walked away from the job without any notice. He has simply stopped returning calls/texts/emails. He left me with over $9,500 in work paid for and not completed, that I am now working to try to recover through legal action. His work is unprofessional. He completely botched the concrete pour he did in June 2023 and had to paver stone over the brand-new concrete because of how badly he messed it up. I tried to be patient with him as the project timeline got pushed back repeatedly. I tried to be patient when his shoddy and rushed work had to continually be redone. However, it is completely unacceptable to cut off all communication when work has been paid for and not completed. RJ is unethical, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. BEWARE!!!"

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.
