Our Excavation Company's Process

Step 1:

Communication

When you get in touch with us, we begin the process of gathering information about your project needs.


We schedule a time and day to come personally inspect the property and work out the details of the job.

Step 2:

On-Site Visit

Next, we visit the property at the scheduled time and day. We carefully survey the property.


Confirm all the relevant details, asking many questions about your needs. Then, we schedule the work.

Step 3:

Complete the Work

When the scheduled time comes, we begin excavation. We will have made sure to pull any necessary permits by this time.


We ensure the completion of tasks in a secure, timely, and highly professional manner, meeting the highest standards.

Step 4:

Quality Review

Excavation is now complete, and we take time to review the work with the client or the client's contractors.


If anything needs changed or adjusted, this is when we make sure that everything was done as needed!

Excavation Contractors in Louisville, KY

In Louisville, KY, attempting excavation work alone can be risky and result in costly mistakes. Excavation companies are essential because of the area's unique geological features. Louisville resides in a "sinkhole plain. This means the city's limestone bedrock is susceptible to erosion. This makes the soil prone to collapse, creating sinkholes.


These sinkholes can be hazardous to construction workers. They can also cause damage to nearby structures and your underground utilities, water lines, and sewer lines.


Louisville's unique geological features also include underground caves and caverns. When doing excavation work, it is essential not to disturb the delicate balance of the underground ecosystem.


Hiring an experienced excavation company in Louisville will ensure your project is done safely and correctly. We use specialized equipment and techniques designed for sinkhole-prone areas. By hiring DR Excavation, we will help you avoid the risks of injury, damage to property, and costly delays.

  • Erosion Control

    Implementation of techniques and structures to prevent soil erosion. Includes the installation of retaining walls, plantings, and other features that help to stabilize the soil.
