Alley-loaded lots and strict city process — logistics-first digs near the beach. Salas Excavating brings pool digs, pad grading, trenching, pool removal, and dirt hauling to Santa Monica — licensed (CSLB #752427), insured, with our own trucks.
Digs to print with haul-off included — standard, tight-access, and hillside.
Pool excavation →Pricing in Santa Monica follows the same drivers as the rest of our service area — pool size, ground conditions, and equipment access — plus the truck-cycle time from Santa Monica to the nearest accepting disposal site. As of 2026, standard-access digs including haul-off typically land in the $4,000–$12,000 band regionally; Westside conditions (45–75 minutes, traffic depending) shape where in that band a Santa Monica dig falls. The full cost guide breaks it down by size, rock, and access — and a free site visit gets a firm written number.
Start with the pool excavation cost guide, the access requirements guide, and the grading permit basics.
Yes — Santa Monica is 45–75 minutes, traffic depending. Site visits and written quotes are free, and we're honest if a job is too small to justify the mobilization.
Staged cycles — trucks arrive on call, load, and leave; nothing idles. Where a city requires temporary no-parking or traffic control permits, that's arranged before dig day.
