What Are the Specific Types of Excavations?

Different construction projects require specialized excavation techniques, and we're experienced across multiple types:

• Foundation excavation - We ensure proper depth, dimensions, and soil stability for strong, secure foundations. Close coordination with engineers ensures load-bearing standards and drainage requirements are met.
• Pool excavation - Our team addresses challenges like water tables and soil composition, achieving precise shapes and slopes for plumbing and electrical systems.
• Driveway excavation and prep - We assess drainage, grading, and base material needs, preventing future settling or cracking, and ensuring long-lasting driveways.
• Excavation for retaining walls - We account for soil pressure, backfill, and drainage behind walls to ensure long-term stability and function.

What Is Included in Drainage & Utility-Focused Excavation?

We handle a variety of excavation services for drainage and utilities, including:

• French drain installation - We evaluate water flow and soil permeability, digging trenches to precise grades for efficient drainage and erosion control.
• Utility trenching - Our crews excavate trenches to strict specifications for water, sewer, gas, and electrical lines, ensuring proper separations and coordination with utility providers.
• Septic system excavation - We excavate per engineered plans, ensuring proper grading for tank placement and drain fields.
• Yard drainage solutions - We identify root causes of yard flooding, regrade problem areas, and install drainage systems for long-term water management.

These services often intersect, and we offer fully integrated drainage and utility excavation solutions tailored to your property.

Which Process and Safety Protocols Do We Follow?

Excavation requires more than just equipment - it demands safety and planning:

• Underground utility locating - We coordinate with providers and use advanced locating tools to identify utilities before digging.
• Erosion control - We install silt fencing, sediment basins, and stabilization measures to protect your site and surrounding areas.
• Permits and inspections - We manage all required permits and ensure compliance with building codes and regulations.
• Backfill and compaction - We use proper materials and equipment to achieve specified density and long-term stability.

We use advanced commercial-grade excavation equipment suited for jobs of all sizes, from compact trenchers for residential work to heavy-duty excavators for large-scale commercial projects.

All of our personnel are licensed, insured, and highly trained, ensuring every excavation project meets the highest standards of safety and quality.
