What does site prep actually include?
Site prep is everything that happens between raw ground and a lot your builder can start on. We strip the surface, cut and fill until the pad sits at plan elevation, trench for utilities, and rough in the driveway or access road so trucks can get on and off the site. Where the ground needs it, we cut drainage and storm water runs so winter rain moves away from the pad instead of sitting on it.
The last pass matters as much as the first. We grade out, clean up and walk the site before we leave, so the crew after us can start work instead of fixing ours.
Who we dig for
Builders, developers, general contractors and homeowners across the metro. We speak the language of GCs and developers, which means tight schedules, exact grades and a clean handoff with no babysitting required. And on every one of those jobs, Nathan runs the iron himself. You get the owner on site, on the controls, with eyes on every cut and every load.
How fast can you get a machine on site?
We can usually walk a site within a few days of your call and start most residential jobs within one to two weeks, depending on the season and current schedule. Bigger commercial work gets planned around your timeline. Send us the address, the scope and any plans or photos you have, and we will come back with a straightforward quote with no surprises.
What drives the price of excavation?
Mostly how much dirt has to move, how hard it is to get a machine to it, and how much of it has to leave the property. A flat lot with easy access is a quicker job than a tight site where every load goes out on a truck. That is why we quote from a site walk instead of a guess. The estimate is free, and the number you get is the number we mean.
