The Excavation Services Behind Successful Projects
Our commercial excavation services support a wide range of construction and paving needs. We tailor each step to meet your project’s layout, soil conditions, and long-term usage.
Site Clearing & Preparation
Our site prep contractors prepare the land for grading and excavation. This includes tree removal, brush clearing, stump removal, and grubbing to expose the building footprint.
Bulk Excavation
We conduct large-scale soil removal for commercial and industrial projects. Our team performs cut-and-fill excavation to achieve the desired elevation levels. Controlled excavation prevents overdigging or undercutting, which promotes long-term site stability.
Grading & Subgrade Preparation
We provide rough and finish grading services to establish correct slopes and elevations across the site. This helps manage water flow and prevents pooling that can lead to erosion or pavement damage.
Subgrade preparation is especially critical before installing asphalt paving or concrete pads. Our team reshapes and compacts soil to create a stable base that supports long-term load demands.
Utility Trenching & Infrastructure Excavation
We perform utility trenching for water, sewer, gas, and electrical lines. Our excavation services also support drainage infrastructure by preparing trenches for storm systems and underground utilities.
Foundation & Structural Excavation
Our excavation contractors perform footing and foundation excavation to create stable, correctly sized areas for construction. We also excavate for retaining walls and other structural supports that manage elevation changes across the site.
Drainage, Retention & Water Management Excavation
Commercial excavation includes proper drainage and water management efforts. We excavate drainage swales, culverts, and basins and grade the land to direct water away from structures and paved areas. This protects foundations, parking areas, and access roads from deterioration.
Site Preparation Services That Prevent Future Problems
Proper site preparation is essential before paving or construction begins. If the ground is not prepared correctly, it can cause poor drainage, soil settlement, and uneven surfaces.
Through proper grading, compaction, and soil correction, we help prevent these issues. Our site preparation services focus on creating stable conditions that support long-term performance. When needed, we also employ stabilization services to improve soil strength and reduce future movement.
