Excavation & Site Prep.

Trenching, shoring, backfill, and light grading to prep a site - or finish it.

Service 05 of 05 Central Iowa Family Owned · Since 1992
Overview

The Dig Before The Pipe. The Cover After.

Excavation and site prep is the work that wraps around everything else we do. Trenching for the pipe, shoring it for safety, backfilling and compacting once the pipe is in, and finishing with light grading so the property is back to where it should be.

We run light and minor grading - driveway prep, foundation rough grade, finish around an install - but we don’t take on full mass excavation or earthwork that needs owned dump trucks. If a project needs that kind of dirt-moving scope, we’ll be straight with you and partner with the right outfit.

Demo and removal of failed systems, abandoned tanks, and old infrastructure is part of the same scope on most of our jobs.

Scope of Work

What's Included

The dig, the support, and the finish around the work we’re already doing.

Trenching & Shoring

Trenching at depth with proper shoring boxes - utility, septic, and watermain scopes.

Backfill & Compaction

Lifts to spec, mechanical compaction, and rock or sand bedding when the pipe calls for it.

Light & Minor Grading

Driveway prep, foundation rough grade, and clean finish grading around a completed install.

Demo & Removals

Old tank pull and removal, abandoned line removal, failed-field demo as part of replacement work.

Utility Locates

811 every time, hand exposure on existing utilities, no shortcuts around what’s already in the ground.

Site Restoration

Topsoil back, seeded or sodded as the job calls for, site walked back clean.
