The Service

What Do Excavation Services Cover?

Excavation is the digging, cutting and moving of earth that shapes a property for what's being built. It's precise work, because the depth, slope and size of every cut affect what goes in next. Excavation jobs on a property can include:

Foundations and Footings
Digging to the depth and size your plans call for, so the foundation has solid footing.
Trenches
Opening trenches that give water, sewer or electrical lines a path to the building.
Cutting High Spots
Taking down high ground so the site can sit at the level the plans call for.
Removing Unsuitable Soil
Digging out soil that isn't fit to build on, so better material can take its place.

Why It Matters

Why Does Excavation Need to Be Done Right?

Almost every construction project starts below the surface. Foundations need solid footing at the right depth, utility lines need a safe path to the building, and uneven ground has to be cut and shaped before anything can sit on it level.

Rushing or skipping steps usually shows up later as cracked slabs, standing water or lines that have to be dug up again. Careful excavation also protects what's already in the ground, because working around marked utilities prevents costly and dangerous damage. Excavating is one of the core services our family business was built on, and our team brings more than 30 years of hands-on experience to it.

Before We Dig

What to Know Before Excavation Starts

Good excavation starts before the first scoop of dirt. Here's what we'll ask about when you reach out.

Before digging starts

What the excavation is for, plus plans, a site layout or your builder's specs
Underground utilities located and marked ahead of time, starting with a call to 811
A clear, firm path for equipment to reach the work area
Anything buried that you know about, like old septic lines, tanks or debris
Whether dirt needs to leave the site or new material needs to come in

One Crew

Excavation, Hauling and Pads Handled Together

Excavation rarely happens on its own. The dirt that comes out has to go somewhere, a low area might need fill, and a new building needs a solid base once the digging is done. Because we also offer material hauling, building pad construction and site preparation, we can plan those steps together instead of leaving you to coordinate several contractors.

You'll get the same open communication from the first day of your project to the last, and we'll keep you informed until the work is complete.

Questions

Excavation Services FAQ

Quick answers about excavation services from the Trejo Site Prep team.

Do you dig foundations and footings?

Yes. Digging for foundations and footings is part of our excavation work. Share your plans or your builder's specs, and we'll dig to the depth and size they call for.

Can you haul away the dirt after excavating?

Yes. With our material hauling service, the soil and rock that come out can be hauled off, and any fill the job needs can be brought in.

What if I don't know where my utility lines are?

Buried utilities need to be located and marked before any digging starts, and a call to 811 is the first step. Tell us what you know about the property and we'll talk it through.
