What affects the price
— Machine size. Mini excavators cost less per hour but take longer; bigger machines cost more but finish sooner.
— Spoil removal. Trucking soil away is charged per load and can exceed the digging cost on big cuts.
— Ground conditions. Rock, heavy clay and tree roots slow the machine and may need attachments like breakers.
— Access. Narrow side access forces a smaller machine and more hours for the same volume.
— Float and minimums. Expect a delivery (float) fee and a half-day minimum charge on most jobs.
Tips before you post
— Always arrange a Dial Before You Dig (BYDA) check before any excavation — it's free and avoids hitting services.
— Ask whether the quote includes spoil removal and how many truckloads are allowed for.
— Combining jobs (trenches, stump removal, levelling) into one machine visit saves float fees.
