Don't let your valuable landscaped inland or waterfront property deteriorate. The first impression of your property is the landscaping. The value of your property is very important and professional landscaping increases property value and protects your property from environmental hazards. If you are a homeowner, commercial business, municipal, or industrial site, or on the water or inland, utilize landscape design techniques to maximize your property for identification purposes, for erosion control, screening, safety and security, pedestrian control, or beautification and recreation. All are reasons to landscape your property or business. Using environmentally friendly designs and materials, landscaping can compliment your property. Waterfront property has justification for landscaping and construction. Seawalls prevent erosion, and give usable space to waterfront areas, plant material can combat erosion problems, and rip rap can slow down wave action to protect your shoreline. Piers, docks, boathouses are used for recreational reasons and can add value to any waterfront property. Southern Landscaping and Construction Inc has 28 years of experience in Landscape Design and Marine Construction to protect and add value to your property. Give us a call for an estimate.

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.
