Our Residential Excavation Services
- Site Clearing & Preparation
We remove vegetation, debris, and existing structures to ensure your lot is clear, accessible, and ready for construction. - Foundation & Basement Excavation
Whether you need a slab-on-grade foundation or a full basement, we excavate to the precise depth and layout required — with GPS-guided accuracy when needed for larger or more technical builds. - Drainage & Utility Trenches
We install essential residential systems like water, sewer, and storm lines. These utilities are critical to maintaining a safe and dry home. We dig and grade trenches to meet building codes and ensure proper slope and depth. - Grading & Compaction
Grading the land helps prevent water pooling and ensures a stable base for driveways, patios, and landscaping. We use the right equipment and GPS technology to compact the soil for long-lasting durability and precision. - Erosion Control
We implement strategies to prevent soil erosion — particularly important in Michigan’s ever-changing climate — safeguarding your new build from future issues.
