Excavation for Foundations, Footers & Slabs
Digging for basements, footers, additions and garage slabs to the depth and footprint the build calls for, with the spoil hauled off or kept on site for backfill and grading.
General Contracting · Kentucky, Ohio & West Virginia
Site Work & Excavation
Clearing, excavation, grading, base stone and drainage to get a lot ready for a foundation, an addition, a garage slab, a patio or a drive. Our own crews and equipment do the dirt work, so the site is ready when the next phase starts.
Plan your project
Work we can discuss at your consultation
Grading & Building Pads
Setting the finished grade for a building pad, a yard or a drive so water runs away from the structure. Elevations are confirmed on site before the equipment starts cutting.
Clearing & Debris Removal
Taking out brush, old slabs, failed surfaces and debris so the ground is open for the work that follows, and agreeing up front what is hauled away and what stays.
Drives, Access & Base Stone
Cutting in a drive or access lane and placing the base stone a paved or gravel surface sits on. Base stone and gravel come from the same company that runs the excavation crews.
Drainage Correction
We look at where the water comes from, where it is trying to go, and what the grade actually does before recommending regrading, a drain line or a change in how the surface sheds water.
Before we visit
These details help us understand the property and the work you need. We will confirm the final scope after looking at the site.
- Tell us what the ground is being prepared for, such as a foundation, an addition, a garage slab, a patio or a drive, and share any plans or drawings.
- Point out property lines, septic systems, wells, buried utilities and irrigation you know about. Marked utility locates are part of planning any dig.
- Tell us where water stands or runs across the site after a rain.
- Note access for trucks and equipment, where material can be staged, and what must be protected, such as trees, drives, lawn or fences.
- Let us know whether trees, old slabs, structures or debris have to come out first.
