General Earthwork & Dirt Work


We provide general earthwork and dirtwork for almost any project requiring moving, shaping, or compacting the soil. We provide excavation, grading, and backfilling services. We can help you prepare a site for a new building, driveway, pool, and other structures. If you can imagine it, we can do it.


Residential Excavation Services


We specialize in residential excavation services. Our team can help prepare your property for construction, landscaping, dirt removal, drainage improvements, septic work, and more. Our team specializes in precision digging, grading, and trenching to meet the needs of your residential dirt work project.


Commercial Excavation Services


We offer commercial excavation services that involve earthmoving and ground preparation for construction projects. This can include digging foundations, trenching for utilities, clearing land for development, and grading for roads or parking lots. Examples of commercial projects include new office buildings, restaurants, and shopping center developments.


Site Preparation and Site Work Services


As site a preparation contractor, we help customers in the beginning phases of construction projects. Key site work tasks we provide include surveying, land clearing, grading and excavation, utility trenching, erosion and sediment control, and soil compacting. Our processes aim to establish a stable and long-lasting foundation for your upcoming structure. Site preparation services are an important part of any new construction project. When you choose us as your site work contractor, you're hiring a professional and detail oriented company that will ensure the longevity of your project.


Pads for Shops, Carports, and Sheds


We prepare pads and foundations for new sheds, shops, metal garages, carports, and RV covers. We can clear the land, grade, and level the area, and compact the soil to create a stable base. We can also bring in materials such as gravel or caliche. Our professional site preparation techniques will help prevent future issues such as shifting, settling, or drainage problems. We understand that quality site prep is critical for the long-term stability of your new structure. 


In-Ground Pool Excavation


Are you installing a new in-ground pool? Our pool excavation service involves marking the pool area, removing topsoil, and digging the pool hole to the required depth and shape. When we're finished, we haul off any unneeded soil and debris from the site. Our team will precisely excavate your yard to ensure you have a stable, correctly shaped hole for your pool.


Utility Trenching


Our utility trenching services involve digging a narrow channel in the ground for the installation or repair of underground utilities such as water pipes, sewer lines, or electrical cables. The process includes excavation, backfilling the trench once utility lines are laid, and restoring the surface. Our experienced team ensures proper planning, precise excavation, and efficient installation to help you get utilities installed as soon as possible.


Sewer Line Excavation


We provide sewer line excavation service when underground sewer pipes need to be exposed for replacement or repair. Excavation of sewer lines is required when other methods, such as snaking or hydro-jetting, are ineffective in fixing the issue. It may also be needed to install or reroute sewer lines during construction or renovation projects. We'll work with your plumbing contractor to minimize the amount of removed earth, saving your property from unnecessary digging.


Septic System Excavation


Our crew provides excavating for drain fields, septic tanks, and septic systems. We can dig trenches for laying new drain field pipes and dig up old septic tanks and septic lines. We will ensure you have the proper depth and slope for your drain field to function effectively. When we're done, we'll backfill the trenches level the area.


Foundation Excavation


We provide excavation services for building foundations. Foundation digging is the process of excavating the ground to create a stable base for a building. Excavation is necessary to create space for footings and concrete. A solid foundation prevents settling and shifting after building construction is complete. Projects requiring foundation excavation include new home construction, additions, and commercial buildings.


Drainage, Erosion, and Runoff Control


We can improve your property's drainage, erosion, and runoff by excavating and reshaping the land to create proper drainage paths, adding berms to direct and divert water, and constructing ponds or swales to retain water. By addressing drainage on your property, we reduce the risk of water damage and erosion around structures.


General Bulldozer Service


Bulldozer service is a broad, catch-all term that covers a wide range of excavating-related services. It generally involves the use of a bulldozer or other excavating equipment to move earth and debris, clear land, and prepare construction sites. Often, this term is used interchangeably with "excavating service."


Types of Excavation Equipment


Excavating crews use various large and small machines during the excavation process. Skilled operators are crucial for safely and efficiently operating these machines. Our crew has an excellent understanding of the equipment and its capabilities. We are trained and experienced with the skills to complete your job safely, quickly, and to specification.


Standard excavating equipment includes:


  • excavators
  • bulldozers
  • front-end loaders
  • dump trucks
  • skid loaders & track loaders
  • backhoes
  • compactors
