What is a rock dig and how are the extra costs involved handled?
A rock excavation is encountered when the machinery, which has been planned, for your yard cannot dig the pool without using special techniques and equipment. The crew, which comes to your house, plans for the best and attempts to dig your pool. However, they may find out rather quickly that their machinery is incapable of the dig. If this happens, the excavators will expose the soil condition by digging a hole and leaving it open. Typically we will secure 2-3 bids and get your approval on the extra costs prior to proceeding. If you suspect you are in rocky areas, we can secure a bid and make it part of the original agreement. This can save time and allow for the extra costs to be financed. Many times excavators can dig a rock pool in about the same time as a pool in softer soil. The extra dollars they charge is more for the know how, larger equipment costs and wear and tear on the machinery, than for the time it takes.
