Excavation
Excavation is an essential part of every building project. No matter if you are constructing a house or a big manufacturing facility, you are sure to need an excavation contractor that can dig the hole where the foundations of the building should be laid. Once that’s done and if it’s done right, by experts like us, you will be able to proceed with your building project.
From clearing and grubbing of site ground breaking, to final grading of completed site profile and grades, we are qualified to complete all excavation and site preparations in between. Our experience in commercial excavation has provided us with the expertise necessary to determine plans and grades and the ability to anticipate issues that may arise, so that we properly addressed them a timely a manner.

Clearing & Grubbing
Clearing & grubbing includes the cutting and removal of trees, stumps, shrubs and existing vegetation within limits of the site construction envelope, as well as stripping and removal of topsoils and organic soil that is typically staged on site to be placed and regraded back onto the landscape once all main construction disturbance has ended. Our sites are cleared in a manner that allows for an adequate and stable envelope, creating optimum space and mobility for subsequent contractors and tradesmen. This promotes efficiency and a safer job-site.
roads & driveways
Whether it be for gravel, asphalt, or concrete, from commercial entryways to residential roads, we can prepare it. Due to our extensive experience in excavating we are able to install a solid structural base for all final road and driveway applications. The key to a good roadway is a sub-grade that allows for proper drainage, and the installation of the right application and specifications of a structural gravel base coarse.
Our roads and driveways are installed to ensure longevity with adequate ditching and drainage, correct sub-base grading, and proper base gravel application installation. All finish grading of roads and driveways are of the utmost professionalism with finished graded ditch lines, road and driveway edges, and final grading of road and driveway top coat gravels.
foundations
Excavation of footings and foundations on adequate soils is an essential start to any structure. It will mandate the structural integrity, dictate your finished floor grades, and ensure the longevity of your building. This is a crucial beginning to your investment.
Years of commercial excavation has provided us the experience to work with various plans, specifications, and engineered structural details in areas of structures’ foundation excavation and backfill. This knowledge allows us to pay attention to specific grades and soil types, and work with engineers to create an adequate design solution when necessary.
Site Sub grading and Backfill
Once your Foundation is built and secured, it is time to backfill and sub grade your site. Correct backfill applications with adequate onsite soils, or imported soils, will ensure drainage and protection of your foundation and your footing. We take pride in ensuring good practice in backfilling with adequate soils and compaction methods to minimize settling and future drainage issues.
Once backfilled, the site can be sub-graded to final grades that will allow for final topsoil installation and grading and future landscape applications. Site sub grading may be more crucial than one would expect. Sub-grades should be adequately designed and graded to provide positive drainage away from all structures and their surrounding structural components. We take care to work collaboratively with owners and planners to ensure we have correct sub-grades for future landscape installations.
slab & concrete prep
This includes basement slabs, exterior slabs, sidewalk prep, curb prep, or any other concrete base gravel prep and installation. We excavate to correct sub-grades, ensure uniform sub-grading and sub-grade drainage practices. We will install and compact correct base gravels to specified grades with minimum-to-no gravel preparation needed for concrete contractors. If so desired, we can also excavate and backfill for all interior plumbing and conduits, working with plumbers and electrical contractors to help ensure quality installation, efficient job scheduling, and cooperation with other trades.
