Is it a $50,000 business... a $150,000 business... or does it take a quarter-million dollars to get started? After more than 20 years running excavation businesses in Florida and Hawaii, I've learned there isn't one right way to get into this business. In this video, I break down the major startup costs, explain what's essential versus what's optional, and compare three realistic ways to get started—from a fully equipped operation to a lean, intentional approach that lets the business grow over time. In this video we cover: • Business setup and foundational expenses • Insurance and administrative costs • Equipment, transportation, and supporting tools • Three realistic startup budget scenarios • How I would approach starting over today • Why startup decisions can shape the future of your business The Earth & Stone Division is where I've organized decades of lessons from the dirt to help others start and run their own mini excavation business.
