Excavation Services questions we get asked
Straight answers on scope, cost drivers and what to send. Anything not covered here, call Zeke and ask.
What kind of excavation work do you take on?
Compact-equipment excavation for residential and light-commercial property: shallow digging, driveway and building-pad preparation, drainage and ditch excavation, shallow trenching, soil removal and rough-to-finish grading. Large-scale commercial earthmoving is outside what our equipment is sized for.
What affects the cost of an excavation estimate?
The dig area, the depth, and the soil you are digging through drive most of it. Access for equipment, how close the work sits to structures, pools or septic, whether material has to be hauled off or brought in, and how precise the finished grade needs to be all change the scope as well.
Do I need utility locates before you dig?
Yes. Buried public utilities have to be located before excavation, and Florida's free 811 locate service marks them. Private lines are not covered by that service, so point out irrigation, landscape lighting, propane, pool plumbing, well lines and anything else you have had installed yourself.
Can you fix a yard that holds water after rain?
Often, yes. Standing water is usually a grading or outfall problem: the ground slopes the wrong way, a low spot has no path out, or the water has nowhere to go once it leaves the yard. We look at where the water comes from and where it can legally and practically go before recommending grading, a swale, or drainage work.
What should I send to get an excavation estimate?
The job address, what the area looks like now, what you want it to look like when the work is done, approximate dimensions, and photos of both the work area and the equipment access route. If the job is drainage-related, photos taken while the water is standing are the most useful thing you can send.
