FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Excavation and Sitework?
Excavation refers to the process of moving earth, rock, or other materials from a site to prepare it for construction.
It can involve digging foundations, trenches, or other necessary holes.
Sitework is the broader process that includes excavation, as well as other essential tasks such as land clearing, grading, drainage installation, and utility trenching.
Together, excavation and sitework set the groundwork for the success of any construction project.
When Should I Start Excavation on My Property?
Excavation typically occurs after a site plan has been finalized and permits have been approved.
It’s essential to complete excavation before the foundation of your building is poured.
This ensures the site is level, stable, and prepared for utilities such as water, sewage, and electrical lines.
You should also consider excavation if you're preparing a site for landscaping, building a driveway, or clearing trees or debris.
What Types of Excavation Services Do You Offer?
Our excavation and sitework services cover a wide range of tasks, including:
✔️Land Clearing: Removal of trees, rocks, and debris to prepare the land for construction or landscaping.
✔️Grading: Leveling or sloping land to ensure proper drainage and a stable foundation.
✔️Trenching: Digging narrow, deep holes for utilities, pipes, or cables.
✔️Foundation Excavation: Preparing the ground for the pouring of foundations or basements.
✔️Site Development: Preparing the land for commercial or residential projects, including driveway and parking lot construction.
How Long Does Excavation Take?
The duration of excavation depends on several factors, including:
✔️Site size: Larger sites take longer to clear and prepare.
✔️Soil type: Rocky or clay-heavy soils require more time and specialized equipment.
✔️Project complexity: Simple grading or trenching takes less time than foundation excavation or land clearing for large commercial developments.
On average, small to medium residential excavation projects can take a few days, while larger commercial or industrial projects may take weeks.
We will provide an accurate timeline once we assess the site and scope of work.
Do I Need a Permit for Excavation and Sitework?
Yes, in most areas, excavation and sitework require permits to ensure the work is done safely and in compliance with local building codes.
Permits may be needed for activities such as:
✔️Land clearing
✔️Grading or leveling land
✔️Installing utility lines
✔️Major digging projects
We can help you navigate the permitting process and make sure all necessary approvals are in place before excavation begins.
What Equipment Is Used for Excavation?
We use a variety of specialized equipment for excavation and sitework, including:
✔️Excavators: Large machines with a bucket for digging and moving dirt.
✔️Bulldozers: For grading and clearing land.
✔️Backhoes: Ideal for digging trenches and smaller jobs.
✔️Skid Steer Loaders: Compact machines for tight spaces, often used for grading or digging.
✔️Dump Trucks: To transport dirt, rocks, or debris offsite.
The right equipment depends on the specific needs of your project, and our team ensures that we use the most efficient machinery for the job.
How Much Does Excavation and Sitework Cost?
The cost of excavation and sitework can vary widely based on the scope of the project, site conditions, and local labor rates.
Factors that affect cost include:
✔️Size and complexity of the site
✔️Type of soil or rock
✔️Amount of land clearing or grading required
✔️Equipment needed
✔️Location of the project
We offer free, no-obligation estimates and will work with you to provide a transparent, detailed breakdown of costs.
We strive to provide high-quality service at a fair and competitive price.

What Happens After Excavation Is Complete?
Once excavation is finished, we move on to the next phase of your project, which may involve:
✔️Site Grading: Making sure the land is level and sloped correctly to ensure proper drainage and foundation stability.
✔️Utility Installation: Laying down necessary pipes, wires, and other utilities as part of site development.
✔️Foundation Work: Pouring concrete or laying other foundation materials once the site is properly prepared.
Our team will keep you informed and work closely with contractors or builders to ensure the project moves forward smoothly.
How Can I Prepare My Property for Excavation?
To prepare your property for excavation, consider the following steps:
✔️Clear the area: Remove any large debris, furniture, or personal items from the excavation site.
✔️Mark utilities: Contact your local utility companies to mark existing underground utilities (e.g., water, gas, power).
✔️Check for easements: Make sure you understand any property easements or restrictions before starting work.
