What does it cost if you hit rock and can’t complete the excavation with the standard equipment? We have an answer!

"In most cases, rock can be handled manually with handheld jackhammers and sheer manpower. However, when a hydraulic hammer on an excavator is needed, we require renting larger equipment to handle the task. The range of pricing can be as low as the cost of minimal daily additional labor and operator fee to a much higher equipment rental and operator fee.

In our experience as a local pool builder, every situation is different, and the likelihood of needing to deal with rock is very low. If you are concerned about hitting rock in your yard, a few test holes dug in the area where you are planning on putting your pool will give you an idea of the cost. In a worst-case scenario, we can excavate 2 feet of solid rock per day at a cost of $3,200 per day. Most jobs that require rock work end up with an extra fee below $4,500."
