A pile cutting device comprising a base having a guide adapted for reception of a pile, the base being adapted for reciprocal movement with respect to the pile, connectors affixed to the base for suspending the base in a substantially horizontal plane, a blade having a pair of opposite extremities, one of the extremities being pivotably mounted to the base, an actuator having a fixed member and a movable member, the fixed member being pivoted to the base and the movable member being pivotably mounted to the other extremity of the blade, the blade being swept across the guide when the actuator is engaged and being retracted away from the guide when the actuator is disengaged. When the pile cutter is lowered to the base of a pile, the guide being positioned about the pile for restricting the lateral movement of the base with respect to the pile, the actuator is engaged causing the blade to shear the pile at its base.
