Digging an excavation may appear to be simply about big machines moving dirt — but there’s much more to it than that. Whether you’re in the process of constructing a new home, repairing a drainage problem or readying a commercial site, these are the questions we receive most often at Thomas Excavation — and the answers that truly count.

What are the services that you provide, anyway?

We offer land clearing, gradtilling, trenching, culvert installing, demolition and more. And if it entails preparing the land, we likely have something to say.

How can I tell if I need to have some grading or drainage work done?

If you have standing water near your foundation, flooding in your yard during heavy storms, and/or your soil seems consistently soggy — it’s time to give us a call. We identify and remedy slope and runoff problems.

Do you do both residential and commercial work?

Yes. From a back yard to a driveway to a large commercial lot, we are the best at scaling our service to fit your job.

Is subsurface utility excavation safe?

Definitely — we always call 811 before we dig, and we are very careful around utility lines.

What is the average duration of a job?

Residential work usually takes 1–3 days. Larger commercial systems can take a week or more, depending on size and the weather.

What sort of gear do you use?

We bring in skids, excavators, bulldozers, laser-leveling tools – in short anything we need to get the job done efficiently and accurately.

Will you allow us to do a little work clearing land for hunting, farming, or even for some landscaping?

Yes! We are experts at prepping rural and recreational land — whether that’s food plots, trails or leveling out terrain.

How do you price your work?

Costs are determined by the scope of the project, ease of access, material requirements and time. We are always happy to give you a free quote.

Are you insured?

Yes — fully licensed and insured in Michigan.
