"I got a good quote for filling in multiple holes in my very large front yard. ( caused by soil dropping down to fill in holes where septic lines were installed) Rather than mowing the grass very low, so he could given a proper estimate , Sergio just glanced over the lawn ( grass at summer #3 setting) He missed more than 1/3 rd of the yard and gave me a low cost estimate . When I asked his crew to fill in the rest of the areas I had to talk with Sergio to be specific about my request. AT no time was I angry nor were they defensive. They brought in another large truckload of top soil and did the work, but it increased my price by quite a bit. I can deal with all that without frustration because they were ALL lovely people. As the grass came up so did tens of thousands of weeds. Apparently they did not get topsoil that had been heated to kill weed seeds. Maybe thats not a thing with all contractors??? I wrote Sergio whom I consider very professional and responsive to ask when it was safe to use weed killer on "baby grass". He never responded."

Self-removal is practical only for boulders weighing approximately 100 pounds or less. This approach requires basic tools like shovels and wheelbarrows, plus disposal fees around $100 per ton. For heavier stones, the equipment rental costs (potentially $700 for larger projects needing both excavator and dumpster) combined with potential property damage risks often make professional services more economical overall.
The duration of professional boulder removal varies significantly based on size, quantity, and accessibility factors. Small projects might conclude within a couple of hours, while larger operations involving substantial boulders or difficult terrain can require a full workday. Most companies allocate time for assessment, equipment setup, the actual extraction process, and site cleanup. Many excavation companies bill minimum periods (typically eight hours) regardless of actual project duration.
The method for removing a boulder from a hole depends on the boulder's size and available tools. Smaller boulders might be pried out using levers (like rock bars) and by filling the hole with smaller rocks as you lift. Larger boulders may require breaking them down using tools like a rotary hammer and wedges, or in extreme cases, heavy machinery.
