Pricing
How much does excavation cost?
Excavation and grading in Palm Beach and Broward runs about $1,500–$5,000 for typical residential jobs like grading a yard, digging for a pool or addition, or clearing a lot. Small jobs like trenching start around $500. All Out Rubbish quotes excavation as a fixed price for the scope — call (561) 345-9808.
Price depends on volume of material moved, access for equipment, and whether soil or debris has to be hauled off.
Haul-off is a real cost in South Florida — dirt is heavy debris priced by the load.
Call 811 (Sunshine State One Call) before any digging so underground utilities get marked — it's free and it's the law.
Grading for drainage often needs to meet city or county swale requirements, especially on newer lots.
