How long does a typical excavation project take?

Most residential jobs take between 2 and 7 days depending on scope, soil conditions, weather, and permitting requirements.

Do I need permits before excavation starts?

Many projects require permits. We help identify what is needed and coordinate with local requirements before breaking ground.

Will you locate underground utilities first?

Yes. Utility locates are part of our planning process before trenching or digging to keep the site safe and compliant.

Can you handle grading and drainage corrections too?

Absolutely. We perform rough and finish grading, slope corrections, and drainage shaping to keep water moving away from structures.

What should I do to prepare my site before your crew arrives?

Clear access paths, confirm property lines, and remove personal items from work zones. We provide a pre-start checklist before day one.
