Clearing is the process of removing obstacles from a site before excavation can begin. This typically includes:

• Vegetation removal: Clearing trees, shrubs, and other plants.

• Debris removal: Removing rocks, stumps, and other debris that may interfere with the excavation process.

Clearing is a crucial step in preparing a site for excavation and ensures a smooth and efficient construction process.

Site preparation is the process of making a site ready for construction or excavation. It involves a series of tasks designed to create a safe and efficient working environment. Common site prep activities include:

• Grading: Leveling the ground to the desired grade for construction.

• Utilities: Installing or relocating utilities (i.e. water, sewer, electric, telecom) as needed.

• Erosion control: Implementing measures to prevent soil erosion during construction.

• Safety measures: Setting up safety barriers, signage, and other precautions.

Site prep is a critical step in any construction project, ensuring that the site is ready for construction and minimizing potential delays or safety hazards.

Foundations are the structural elements that support a building or structure. They transfer the weight of the building to the underlying soil or rock. We offer a comprehensive range of excavation services, from digging to the desired depth to installing the structure itself. There are several types of foundations, each with its own characteristics:

• Footings: Concrete base that supports the columns or walls of a building.

• Slab on Grade: A continuous concrete slab that serves as the footing, foundation and floor of a building.

• Walls: A fully formed and poured wall ranging from short stem walls all the way to a full basement.
  

The type of foundation used depends on various factors, including soil conditions, building weight, and local building codes. Foundations are a critical component of any construction project, ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the building.

Utilities are the underground infrastructure that provide essential services to a site. This typically includes:

• Water: Lines that transport water from the source, whether it being a well or city service, to the new home/structure.

• Sewer: Lines that carry wastewater away from the home/structure.

• Gas: Lines that transport natural gas from the tank to the home/structure for heating and/or cooking.

• Electricity: Cables that carry electrical power to the home/structure.

• Telecommunications: Cables that provide telephone, internet, and other communication services.

Utilities are a critical component of any construction project and must be properly installed and maintained to ensure the safety and functionality of the site.

Concrete is a composite material made from a mixture of cement, water, aggregate (sand and gravel), and often chemical admixtures. It is a versatile and durable material widely used in construction due to its strength, durability, and versatility.

Here's a quick overview of our concrete services:

• Smooth Finished Slabs: Concrete slabs that are commonly used for garage, basement, barn and shop floors.

• Standard Broom Finish: Concrete slabs typically used for sidewalks, patios, porches, driveways, and aprons.

• Concrete Stamping: Stamped concrete is a decorative concrete typically used for sidewalks, patios, and, in some instances, driveways and porches.

• Retaining Walls: Concrete retaining walls are used to stabilize slopes and prevent erosion.

• Foundations: See foundations section above for more information.

In excavation projects, concrete is often used to create structures that support the excavated area or are part of the final construction. The specific type and application of concrete will depend on the project requirements and soil conditions.

Excavation is the process of removing earth, rock, or other materials from the ground to create a cavity or hole. Some examples are:

• Digging: Using excavators, backhoes, loaders or other equipment to remove or add material for the installation of new structures, utilities, and/or roads.

• Grading: Leveling the ground to the desired grade to get adequate drainage and usage of the land.

Excavation is a crucial step in many construction projects, providing the necessary space for foundations, basements, and other infrastructure.

Septics are underground wastewater treatment systems used in areas without access to a municipal sewer system. They typically consist of a septic tank and a drain field.

Our services include:

• Class 1 Systems: A septic system that has met the desired perk rate to allow for a simple level, crossover, or distribution box system.

• Class 2 Systems: A septic system that has not met the desired minimum perk rate and requires a more in depth system such as LPP, sand mound, drip system, home aeration, or other alternative systems.

• Repair: Excavating to access and repair damaged septic components.

• Replacement: Excavating to remove and replace a failing septic system.

Septic systems require regular maintenance and inspection to ensure proper function. Excavation is often necessary for these tasks, as well as for any modifications or upgrades to the system.

Hauling is the process of transporting excavated materials (such as soil, rock, or debris) from the excavation site to a designated disposal or dumping location. This typically involves using trucks, dumpsters, or other hauling equipment.

Hauling is an essential part of many excavation projects, as it ensures that the site is clear of debris and that excavated materials are disposed of properly or the necessary materials that are needed for the project are on site. The specific hauling requirements will depend on the volume of materials, the distance to the disposal site, and local regulations.
