Good Question!

Excavation is by nature an expensive business. Being able to literally move earth safely takes a lot of expensive heavy equipment, fuel, and expertise. Providing quotes to customers often results in "sticker shock".  

We do offer quotes, but mostly prefer to charge an hourly rate per equipment piece. This engages the customer more actively in scaling the job to suit their budget. We pride ourselves on honesty and transparency, and always keep the customer's best interests in mind when assessing a job. Below are some of the types of charges you may see on our initial quotes and final invoices.

Moves 

We have to truck our heavy equipment to your job site. This means we have to cover the cost of truck and trailer, fuel, and permits.
