Question 5

Pricing is calculated based on project scope, total yardage of soil/material moved, site accessibility, depth of trenching/foundation, equipment required, and waste disposal needs. We provide detailed line-item quotes with no hidden fees.

Question 7

How much does excavation cost?

Accepted Answer

Excavation pricing depends on project scope, the volume of soil or material moved, site accessibility, depth, soil conditions, equipment required, and disposal or hauling needs. Because every property is different, we provide detailed, no-obligation estimates based on your specific project rather than flat rates.

Question 8

How long does an excavation project take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by project size and complexity. Smaller residential jobs like a single driveway or drainage trench may take a day or two, while larger site preparation or demolition projects can take a week or more. We provide an estimated timeline with your quote and communicate progress throughout.

Question 9

Do you handle difficult-access or tight properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our fleet includes compact mini excavators and skid steers that are ideal for tight backyards, narrow gates, and properties with limited access where larger machines can't reach.

Question 10

How should I prepare my property before excavation?

Accepted Answer

We'll guide you through preparation, but in general it helps to mark underground utilities (call 811 before digging), clear a path for equipment access, remove personal items from the work area, and identify any septic or well systems. We walk the site with you before work begins.

Question 11

Do you work with general contractors and builders?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We collaborate with homeowners, general contractors, builders, and developers across residential, commercial, and agricultural projects, coordinating scheduling and site work to keep your build on track.

Question 12

Do you pull permits for excavation work?

Accepted Answer

Permitting requirements vary by city and project type. We can advise on what permits may be required for your project and coordinate with your municipality, though the property owner or general contractor typically holds the permit. We're happy to help navigate the process.

Question 13

What should I ask an excavation contractor before hiring?

Accepted Answer

Ask about licensing and insurance, experience with your type of project, the equipment they'll use, estimated timeline, references from past clients, and how they handle pricing and change orders. A reputable contractor will answer these clearly and in writing.

Question 14

Can you haul dirt, debris, and material away?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Material hauling and disposal is a core part of our service. We transport excavated soil, concrete, demolition debris, and other materials off-site and handle responsible disposal or relocation.

Question 15

What equipment does AJB Excavation use?

Accepted Answer

We operate a modern fleet including Bobcat skid steers, mini and full-size excavators, and heavy dump trucks, along with laser grading and compaction equipment — matched to the size and access requirements of each job.
