Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an excavation project take?
Project timelines depend on site conditions, soil type, and project size. Most residential excavations take a few days to complete, while large commercial or multi-phase jobs can extend longer. We’ll provide a clear schedule before work begins.
Can you handle drainage and grading as part of excavation?
Yes. Proper drainage is part of every excavation project we complete. We grade and slope the land to prevent water buildup and erosion, ensuring long-term site stability and proper foundation support.
