Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permits for excavation?
Most excavation work requires building permits and grading permits from your local jurisdiction. Foundation excavation for new construction or additions always requires permits. We can help you understand what permits are needed and work with your contractor or engineer to ensure compliance.
How much does excavation cost?
Excavation costs depend on volume (cubic yards), depth, access difficulty, and soil conditions. Typical residential foundation excavation ranges $3,000-$8,000. Trenching costs $5-$15 per linear foot depending on depth. We provide detailed free estimates after site evaluation.
What do you do with excavated dirt?
We offer several options: haul away to disposal sites, spread on-site if suitable and permitted, or deliver to your specified location. Clean fill dirt may be recycled, while contaminated soil requires special disposal. We handle all aspects of material management.
Can you work around existing utilities?
Yes, we regularly excavate near existing utilities. We always arrange for professional utility locating before digging and use hand-digging techniques near marked lines when required. Safety and utility protection are top priorities.
How long does excavation take?
Timeline depends on project size and complexity. A typical residential foundation excavation takes 1-3 days. Utility trenching may be completed in a day. Weather, access, soil conditions, and permit approvals can affect schedules. We provide realistic timelines with estimates.
What about wet or rocky soil?
Northern California presents varied soil conditions. We have experience with everything from decomposed granite to hard rock and clay. Rocky conditions may require additional equipment or time. Wet conditions may require dewatering. We address these challenges during the estimate.
