Excavation Contractors

Compaction is the component of the process that provides stabilization for the rest of the project. We offer compaction services for all types of projects, from residential to commercial.

Backfilling is the final stage of construction and is the process where dirt is brought in to fill up an area. We also provide infilling, which is the process of filling an area with a material other than dirt.

Providing footers is another core practice among the general excavation services we provide. A continuous foundation enables the lateral load of a building to be distributed to the sub-grade below.

We regularly provide trenching services as excavation contractors. Trenching can be used to install pipes, cables and other utilities. The depth and width of the ditch can vary depending on what is being installed.

This involves digging a rectangular hole in the ground with a trenching machine. Open cut trenching is used when there is not enough space to use directional boring or when there are obstacles that cannot be avoided by using other methods.

A drill head is attached to a pipe which is inserted into the ground. The drill head bores through the earth until it reaches the desired location. We are careful to insure that the area is safe for excavation before beginning any trenching work.

D R Excavation offers a variety of excavation services, including septic and sewer systems.

It's important that all the needs of a septic system are put into consideration when preparing the installation area for use. Proper drainage, and correct placement of household wastewater pipes are a must.

We take special care to assure that the space and dimensions excavated for your septic tank and septic systems is up to code.

We want to make sure that the installation of your septic system will go smoothly and that the system itself will remain safe and secure throughout its entire service life.

Clearing the land before construction begins makes it easier to build, and it can also make the property safer by removing potential hazards.

Whether it's grubbing, like by using a brush hog, or dozing the land with a bulldozer - you can be sure that we will be able to clear your land for future use.

There are many different ways to clear land, and the right method will depend on the specific project.

If you land is overgrown, uneven, or lightly forested, and you want to use it for building, agriculture or anything else, land clearing might be just what you need!

There are multiple different kinds of grading, which depend on the condition your land is in, and the final purpose you'll be using the space for.

If you are planning on putting down a driveway or patio, for example, you will need to have a finished grade so that the surfaces can be installed properly.

A finish grade, also called a final grade, is the last step in the grading process. This is when all of the dirt from the excavation process is moved around until the desired level is reached.

A regrade is when a contractor goes back over an area that has already been graded to fix any problems with the soil, such as ruts, boulders or hills.

A culvert pipe is a pipe or conduit installed beneath a road, railroad, canal, or other obstruction to carry water under the road or railway.

They are usually made of corrugated metal, concrete or plastic. We offer culvert pipes in a variety of sizes and shapes to meet your needs, as well as the land preparation and installation of the culvert pipes themselves.

We have the experience and equipment to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Contact us today for more information about our culvert pipes and excavation services.

We install drainage systems to remove water from the construction site and protect your property from damage.

We use a variety of drainage systems, including perforated pipes, trenches, and catch basins.

We can also install pumps to move water away from the construction site quickly and efficiently.

Whether your property has a need of perimeter drains, drainage berms, dry wells, retention ponds, or a whole drainage system, we can provide just what you need to manage the water runoff and waterways of your land.

Excavation services for a foundation are an involved and particular process - one that needs attention to detail and adherence to a strict process.

It starts with site clearance and preparation, getting any obstructions out of the way to begin marking off the allotted space. Anything that might hinder or damage the foundation long term needs to be removed and replaced with properly compacted material to insure long-term safety and health of the foundation.

Once the land is prepared and marked off, the excavation can begin. Until the land is ready to receive foundation materials like concrete, no pouring can begin.

Excavation projects for basements are much like those of foundation excavation, but even more involved.

Since the process involves getting deeper into the ground, more preparation is called for in order to insure the long-term safety and success of the project.

Just as with the foundations, all obstructions must be removed and the substrate must be compacted to a suitable degree.

Once the area has been properly excavated, the construction of the basement space can begin.

Site preparation is generally a basic and straightforward process within our offerings as excavation contractors.

A great variety of things may obstruct a construction site, whether it's simply shrubs and brush, forested land, previous construction or construction materials, or anything else that might be in the way.

Whatever needs to be cleaned and cleared from a worksite, we've got it covered. We've even been known to clear junkyards of junk, since the equipment we have makes the whole process much easier.

We work with contractors and homeowners alike to solve these problems, getting a job site ready for construction smoothly and simply.
