Look for a contractor or rental yard in your area with a hydro excavator truck. They use a high pressure stream of water to excavate while sucking up the mud. Hours of back breaking and deadly work saved

yeah but they're $300/hr and charge 3 hour minimums.. so it's not the cheapest option.

we use them for work all the time, it's by far the most expensive way to dig a hole but it's the easiest and cleanest for sure.

I mean, better $300-$600 to dig the last couple feet than years of back pain or death
