Our specialties, however not limited to include pool installations and renovations, residential and commercial demo, land clearing and grading, excavation, concrete masonry, and hardscapes. As we always say "If you can conjure it, we can build it!" Call us today to discuss your next project!
"Usually when you hire a contractor, you hope and pray that they will complete the job according to specs and do it with respect and care. Not only did Shovel Kings complete our job and fulfill our vision, their work completely exceeded all expectations. Also, the modifications they suggested opened our eyes to unimaginable possibilities! While they weren’t the cheapest quote that we got, we are thrilled with the results and know they will stand behind their work. This is by far the largest job we’ve ever contracted and we were very nervous. I am happy to report this is the first large job where we received good value for our investment and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They were wonderful to work with and addressed all of our questions and concerns with old school honor and respect. Well done, Jordan family!! ?? **Please contact Shovel Kings if you would like to see the end result. We are happy to show it off!"

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.
