Frequently Asked Questions

How long does residential excavation typically take?

Most residential projects can be completed in 1–3 days depending on scope. Pool excavation usually takes a single day for standard sizes, while driveway removal and backyard grading projects typically wrap up in 1–2 days. Factors like soil conditions, weather, and site accessibility can affect the timeline. We’ll provide a clear estimate after assessing your property.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, soil conditions can vary—sometimes we encounter rock, caliche, or unexpected underground obstacles. If this happens, we have the equipment and experience to handle it, whether that means rock breaking or adjusting our approach. We’ll communicate any changes to the scope or cost before proceeding, so there are no surprises.

Yes, but we handle that for you. Before any digging starts, we coordinate with Texas 811 to have all public utility lines marked. If you have private utilities like irrigation systems, invisible dog fences, or private electrical lines, please let us know ahead of time so we can avoid them.

Clear the work area of outdoor furniture, grills, potted plants, trampolines, and any moveable items. If fencing or gates need to be temporarily removed for equipment access, we’ll discuss that with you beforehand. The clearer the site, the faster and safer we can complete your project.

Absolutely. Whether it’s concrete from a driveway removal, excavated soil from a pool dig, or debris from a backyard project, we handle all hauling and disposal. If you’d like to keep some of the clean fill dirt for other areas of your property, just let us know.
