Excavation

What is Excavation?

Excavation is the process of moving earth—digging, trenching, and removing soil to prepare a site for construction. Whether you’re building a foundation, installing utilities, or clearing land for development, excavation is the essential first step that makes everything else possible.

Done right, excavation sets your project up for success. Done wrong, it leads to unstable foundations, drainage failures, and costly delays.

Types of Excavation We Provide

Foundation Excavation
Creating a solid foundation starts with precise digging. We excavate to the exact depth and dimensions your project requires, whether you’re building a residential home, commercial structure, or addition. Our operators understand that accuracy at this stage prevents problems throughout the entire build.

Trenching
Trenches provide pathways for essential utilities—water lines, sewer pipes, electrical conduits, drainage systems, and more. We dig trenches to the proper depth and grade, ensuring your utilities are installed correctly and protected for the long term.

Site Excavation
Large-scale earthmoving for commercial developments, parking lots, roads, and infrastructure projects. We have the equipment and experience to handle high-volume excavation efficiently while maintaining the precision your project demands.

Pool Excavation
Installing an in-ground pool requires careful excavation to exact specifications. We work with pool contractors to dig the precise shape and depth needed, accounting for soil conditions and proper access for construction crews.

Land Clearing
Before excavation can begin, the land often needs clearing. We remove trees, stumps, brush, rocks, and existing structures to create a clean work area. Proper clearing prevents surprises during digging and keeps your project on schedule.

Our Excavation Process

1. Site Assessment
Every project starts with an on-site evaluation. We assess soil conditions, access points, existing utilities, and any potential obstacles. This information shapes our approach and helps us provide an accurate estimate.

2. Utility Location
Before any digging begins, underground utilities must be marked. Texas law requires calling 811 at least two business days before excavation. We coordinate this process to ensure all gas, electric, water, and communication lines are properly identified and protected.

3. Excavation
With the site assessed and utilities marked, our operators go to work. Using excavators, bulldozers, and other heavy equipment matched to your project’s needs, we dig to the specified depths and dimensions while maintaining strict safety standards.

4. Material Management
Excavated soil has to go somewhere. Depending on your project, we can haul material off-site, stockpile it for later use, or redistribute it elsewhere on the property for grading and fill. We’ll discuss options during your estimate.

5. Site Preparation for Next Phase
Once excavation is complete, we prepare the site for what comes next—whether that’s pouring a foundation, installing utilities, or grading. Our goal is to leave you with a clean, properly prepared site ready for the next contractor.

Equipment for Every Job

The right equipment makes all the difference in excavation work. Our fleet includes:

• Excavators: For precision digging, trenching, and material handling
• Bulldozers: For pushing earth, clearing land, and rough grading
• Skid Steers: For tight spaces and versatile material movement
• Dump Trucks: For hauling excavated material on and off site

We match equipment to your project’s specific needs—using compact machines for residential work with limited access and larger equipment for commercial jobs requiring high-volume earthmoving.
