Excavation Contractors in Tampa, FL

As an excavation contractor in Tampa, we offer a variety of services to our clients.


One of our most popular services is trenching for utilities. This involves digging a narrow, shallow trench in order to lay down pipes or cables.


We also offer land clearing services, which are perfect for those who are looking to build on undeveloped land. We will clear away any trees, shrubs, or other vegetation so that you can start from scratch.


Finally, we also offer construction site preparation services. This includes leveling the ground, removing any large rocks or roots, and preparing the site for foundation work. No matter what your project entails, we have the skills and experience to get the job done right.

What We Offer

  • Residential Excavation

    There are several different kinds of residential excavations, including foundation work, basement work, and trenching.


    Excavation companies offer a variety of services to home and property owners. One of the most common services is trenching, which is often used for utility installation or repairs.


    As an excavation company, we can also assist with foundation work, grading, and land clearing. In addition, many companies offer demolition services. This can be helpful when preparing a site for new construction or simply making room for a new addition to an existing home.


    At D R Excavation, we survey the site of the excavation to determine what kind of digging is necessary and how deep it needs to be. Dig out the area with backhoes, loaders, and other heavy machinery.


    Then we grade the site so it's level with the surrounding area. The last step is backfilling and compacting the dirt to make sure it's stable once we have laid your foundation. Having a highly qualified contractor is an essential part of the construction process.

  • Trenching Contractors

    There are a number of steps that should be taken to ensure worker safety because proper trenching requires excavating contractors to have the proper equipment and safety gear.


    At DR Excavation contractors, we provide a vital service to both residential and commercial property owners. One of the most common services we provide is trenching. Trenching is the process of excavating a narrow, deep hole in the ground. It is typically used to install utilities such as water, sewer, or electrical lines.


    It can also be used to create foundation footings for new construction. In many cases, trenching is the best option for completing a project because it minimizes disruption to the surrounding area.


    It can also be less expensive than other methods of excavation, making it an attractive option for many property owners. Whether you're looking to install new utilities or lay the foundation for a new building, trenching is an important tool that excavation contractors can use to get the job done.

  • Septic Installation

    Septic services installation is something that many people don’t think about until they need one. They are often found to be undersized, outdated, or disconnected from the drainage system of their homes.


    All of these are issues that can lead to a variety of problems, and owning a septic system is something you should take seriously.


    At DR Excavation, the process of septic installation may vary depending on the property and the type of septic system being installed. However, there are some general steps that excavation professionals typically follow.


    We perform an assessment of the property to determine the best location for the septic tank. Then, we will excavate the area where the tank will be installed and we will install the tank and any associated pipes or drains.


    Finally, we will backfill the excavated area and restore the surface to its original condition. Throughout the process, we take care to minimize any disruption to your property and maximize the efficiency of the septic system.

  • Lot Clearing

    The purpose of land clearing may be to create new space for commercial or residential development, to create a new level surface, to remove obstacles and hazards in the way of construction projects such as roads and bridges, or simply to prepare an area for farming.


    Unlike land thinning, which focuses on selectively removing individual trees, land clearing involves clearing the land of all vegetation. This is often done in preparation for construction or development projects.


    Land clearing can be completed manually with chainsaws and other hand tools, but it is more commonly done with heavy machineries such as bulldozers and excavators.


    As professional excavation contractors, we specialize in land clearing projects of all sizes. We have the equipment and expertise necessary to quickly and efficiently clear your land, regardless of the scope of the project.

  • Grading Contractors

    As an excavation contractor, there are different types of grading. Grading is the process of leveling or sloping the land to create a uniform surface.


    This is usually done to improve drainage or to prepare the land for construction. There are two main types of grading: excavating and embankment. Excavating is the process of removing soil to create a lower grade, while embankment is the process of adding soil to create a higher grade.


    There are several reasons why proper grading is important. First, it helps to ensure proper drainage by directing water away from buildings and other structures. Second, it helps to prevent erosion by stabilizing the soil.


    Third, it provides a level surface on which to build foundations and other structures. Finally, it can help to improve the appearance of a property by creating a more pleasing landscape.

  • Footing Excavation

    As an excavating contractor, footing excavation is a shallow hole that is dug around the perimeter of a building. The purpose of a footing excavation is to provide a solid foundation for the building.


    The excavation must be wide enough and deep enough to accommodate the foundation, and it must be dug to a uniform depth. Once the excavation is complete, the contractor will install forms and reinforcement steel.


    The forms will provide support for the concrete, and the steel will help to reinforce the footing. After the concrete has been poured and cured, the forms and steel will be removed, and the building can be erected on top of the new foundation.

  • Culvert Installation

    As an excavation contractor, the process of installing culvert pipes is important and should be carefully done. While every job is unique, there are some common challenges that we face when excavating for culverts.


    First of all, it's important to dig a wide and deep enough trench to accommodate the pipe. Culvert pipes come in a variety of sizes and shapes, so it's important to make sure that we have the right dimensions before we start digging.


    Second, we need to be careful not to damage the pipe while we're excavating. Culvert pipes are made from a variety of materials, including concrete, metal, and plastic, so it's important to use the right tools and techniques to avoid damaging them.


    Finally, we need to make sure that the culvert pipe is properly supported once it's installed. This usually involves backfilling the trench with gravel or other materials.


    Installing culvert pipes can be challenging, but it's important work that helps to protect our homes and businesses from flooding.

  • Drainage Excavation

    As excavation contractors, we are often called upon to improve or correct drainage on a property. There are a number of factors that we take into account when approaching such a project.


    First, we assess the property to determine the best way to approach the excavation. This includes taking into account the surrounding terrain, the type of soil on the property, and any existing drainage infrastructure.


    Once we have a plan in place, we begin the excavation process. We use a variety of tools and equipment to excavate the necessary trenches and trenches. Next, we install drainage pipes and other drainage infrastructure.


    Finally, we backfill the excavated area with soil and gravel to ensure proper drainage. By following these steps, we are able to provide our clients with the best possible solution for their drainage needs.


    Drainage installation is a critical part of any residential or commercial construction project. When choosing a drainage contractor, it is important to choose one that has the experience and expertise in this field.

  • Foundation Excavation

    One of the most important steps in building a new home is excavating the foundation. This is a critical task that must be done carefully in order to ensure the stability of the structure. As an excavation contractor, we have extensive experience in this area.


    The first step in excavating for a new foundation is to remove any existing vegetation from the work site. This includes grass, shrubs, and trees. Once the vegetation has been removed, we will use heavy machinery to dig down to the desired depth.


    The depth will depend on the type of foundation being installed. Once we reach the desired depth, we will then level off the area and begin installing the foundation. The equipment we use for excavation depends on the size and scope of the project. For small projects, we may only need shovels and wheelbarrows. For larger projects, we will bring in excavators and other heavy machinery.


    Regardless of the size of the project, safety is always our top priority. We take care to follow all safety protocols and make sure our workers are properly trained in using the equipment.

  • Basement Excavation

    Basement excavation is the process of digging out a basement and preparing the walls, floor and ceiling to receive the finished basement. It is important to hire an experienced company with certified professionals who have the knowledge of proper excavation techniques.


    As an excavation contractor, excavating a basement is a pretty straightforward process. First, we need to remove any existing foundation walls or footings. Next, we will dig out the area to the desired depth, making sure to remove any roots or large rocks that could damage the equipment.


    Once the excavation is complete, we will install the new foundation walls or footings. Finally, we will backfill the area around the new foundation, compacting the soil to provide support for the structure.


    Excavating a basement may seem like a daunting task, but with the help of a qualified contractor, it can be completed quickly and efficiently.

  • Site Preparation

    As an excavation contractor, the most important part of construction site prep is ensuring that the site is properly graded. This process involves using heavy equipment to level off the land, creating a stable foundation for the construction that will take place.


    The grading process can be complex, and it often requires multiple phases to ensure that the land is properly prepared. In addition to grading, construction site prep also includes activities like clearing debris, setting up fences and barriers, and digging trenches.


    The scope of these activities will vary depending on the size and complexity of the construction site. However, all of these activities are essential in ensuring that the construction process can proceed smoothly and efficiently.

  • Commercial Excavation

    Commercial excavation is a type of excavation that is done by businesses, usually with the help of heavy machinery. While it may seem like a simple process, commercial excavation is actually quite complex and requires a lot of planning and coordination.


    Many find it difficult to know the difference between commercial site work and site preparation. Commercial site work generally refers to the construction of new buildings and other structures, while site preparation involves preparing a piece of land for development.


    The tasks involved in commercial site work can vary widely, from demolishing existing buildings to excavating foundation trenches. In contrast, site preparation typically focuses on clearing and grading the land, as well as installing utilities and other infrastructure.


    Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, there are some important distinctions between commercial site work and site preparation.


    Overall, the entire process can take weeks or even months to complete, but the end result is worth it. A well-executed commercial excavation can dramatically improve a business's bottom line.
