Residential Excavation Services

Compaction improves the stability of soils and increases the bearing capacity of foundations and roadways. It also reduces erosion.

Vibratory plate compactors are the most common type. They have two plates that vibrate to press the material together. Static rollers have one large roller that rotates while pressing down on the material.

Sheepsfoot rollers have many small feet that distribute weight over a large area. This prevents gouging and results in a more even surface finish. Tandem rollers have two drums that rotate in opposite directions.

We keep a variety of equipment available in our inventory in order to be sure we have just the right tools to get the job done properly for you.

As an excavation contractor, one of the services we offer our customers is infilling.

This involves filling in a hole or depression in the ground with material such as dirt, gravel, or concrete.

Depending on the purpose of the infilling, we may use different methods and materials.

For example, if the goal is to level out an area for construction, we would use a layer of compacted fill dirt.

If the infilling is being done to prepare an area for landscaping, we might use topsoil mixed with compost.

Infilling can be a simple and cost-effective way to improve the appearance and function of a property.

This perimeter will help to keep water and debris from entering the space.

Finally, we install any necessary drains and backfill the area around the drains with gravel.

Grading is done by first removing any obstacles that might impede water flow, such as large rocks or trees.

Then, the land is shaped so that it slopes downwards in the direction that water needs to go.

Finally, smaller details are taken care of by hand in order to create a smooth finished product.

All of this work ensures that water will drain properly and not cause any problems for the construction site.

Grading can be used to prepare a site for construction to remedy drainage problems, to stabilize an area against erosion, or simply to improve its appearance.
