Frequently Asked Questions

How much does excavation cost?

Excavation costs vary based on the scope of work, soil conditions, site access, and project complexity. Most residential excavation ranges from $50-150 per hour depending on equipment needs, or $15-40 per cubic yard for larger projects. We provide free, detailed quotes so you know exactly what to expect. Contact us for a personalized estimate based on your specific needs.

Do you locate utilities before excavating?

Yes, utility location is a critical first step. We contact Blue Stakes of Utah to mark all underground utilities including gas, electric, water, and sewer lines before any excavation begins. We then use careful digging methods near marked utilities to prevent damage. Safety is our top priority.

How long does excavation take?

Timeline depends on project size and complexity. A simple foundation excavation might take 1-2 days, while larger site preparation projects can take a week or more. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and work efficiently to complete your project on schedule.

Can you handle rocky St. George soil?

Absolutely. We have extensive experience with Southern Utah soil conditions including rocky and sandy terrain. Our equipment and expertise allow us to handle challenging excavation conditions efficiently.
