Low corner, pad, trench or swale: our Bobcat T740 and operator dig, move and place the dirt at $1,385/day. Free estimates for Royal Palm Beach.
Most Royal Palm Beach dirt work is small to mid-size and specific: build up a low corner of a lot, cut a pad for a shed or slab, open a trench for drainage, or spread fill so water leaves the yard instead of sitting in it. One machine does all of it, and we price it by the day, not by the cubic yard.
For clearing before the dirt moves, see our Royal Palm Beach land clearing page. For the general picture of excavation and fill across the county, start at our fill dirt and excavation hub.
The village grew from former pasture and wetland, and the ground shows it: flat, with a water table close to the surface in the wet season. That is why a few inches of elevation matters here. A lot that sits low holds rain, and a lot raised without a plan can push that water toward its neighbor.
We talk through where the water will go before the first load of fill is placed, because the grade you finish at decides whether the problem is solved or moved.
Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village with its own Building Division at Village Hall on Royal Palm Beach Boulevard. It issues its own permits and is separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division that covers unincorporated areas. Fill that raises a lot or changes drainage is the sort of work a village reviews, so ask the Village about your address before dirt arrives.
Inside an HOA, a second approval applies. Communities such as Madison Green, Saratoga Pines and Nautica commonly have an architectural review board whose sign-off is separate from the Village permit.
Who owns the nearest canal, culvert or drainage tract depends on the parcel: the Village, a drainage or water control district, or the South Florida Water Management District. We confirm the owner before working beside one, because re-grading a lot can send water onto a neighbor or into a canal that is not yours to change.
The Bobcat T740 and operator are $1,385/day. We do not publish a price for fill material on this page, and a problem as particular as yours is settled at the free estimate, which counts the days and says which way the dirt is traveling. Our land clearing cost guide covers the per-acre side of larger jobs.
We have no confirmed named excavation project in Royal Palm Beach to point to, and we would rather say so than invent one. What we can show is the credential stack: Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1528750, a Business Tax Receipt for the Village of Royal Palm Beach, a Palm Beach County receipt, a BBB A+ accreditation, and a written one-year workmanship warranty on every job. A receipt is a local business tax registration, not a contractor licence.
Name and phone are all we need to start.
Yes. A Bobcat T740 with an operator digs, moves and places fill on Royal Palm Beach lots at $1,385/day. That covers grading a pad, filling a low corner, cutting a swale or trenching for drainage. The free estimate says how many days your ground will take.
The machine and operator are $1,385/day, and the days depend on how much ground moves and how far it travels. We do not publish a price for fill material on this page. Estimates are free, so send the address and what you want the ground to do.
Often, yes. The Village of Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village with its own Building Division at Village Hall on Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, and fill that raises a lot or changes where water goes is the kind of work a village reviews. Ask the Village about your address before any dirt arrives, and tell us what it says.
Most of the village was built on former pasture and wetland, so ground is flat and the water table sits close to the surface in the wet season. Those conditions are why fill and grading questions come up here: a low lot holds water, and a few inches of elevation can change where it goes.
It depends on the parcel. A canal, culvert or drainage tract can belong to the Village, to a drainage or water control district, or to the South Florida Water Management District. We confirm who owns the nearest one before moving soil beside it, because re-grading a lot can send water onto a neighbor or into a canal that is not yours to change.
It can if the lot is raised without a plan for the water. Raising one lot can push runoff toward the next, which is the main reason a village looks at fill. We talk through where water will go before the first load is placed.
Yes, with approval first. Many Royal Palm Beach communities, among them Madison Green, Saratoga Pines and Nautica, have an architectural review board whose sign-off is separate from the Village permit. We work around what the board approves.
Digging produces spoil and filling needs material, and the estimate sorts out which way the dirt travels on your job. Say on the call whether soil is leaving, arriving or staying put on the lot.
Yes. A Bobcat T740 handles pads, trenches, swales, and footing-depth cuts. For anything structural, the Village's building rules and a permit apply, and a Florida certified general contractor is on the other end of the phone.
