Here’s a look at the types of excavation projects we can tackle for you.

Site Preparation and Land Clearing

Before any structure goes up, the land needs to be properly prepared. We remove trees, brush, rocks, and debris, level uneven ground, and grade the soil to ensure a stable and secure base for construction. Whether it’s a new build, an addition, or a garage pad, we make sure your project starts right.

Utility Trenching and Installation

Installing underground utilities like water lines, sewer pipes, electrical conduit, or gas lines requires precise trenching and safe digging practices. Our experienced crew ensures all utility trenches are dug to code, with proper depth, slope, and backfilling techniques to protect your infrastructure.

Water Mitigation & Drainage

Drainage and Water Mitigation

Water issues can wreak havoc on your property. We install French drains, dry wells, catch basins, and swales to help redirect water away from buildings and low-lying areas. Our excavation services are designed to solve soggy yards, prevent erosion, and protect foundations from water damage.
