Our Excavation & Trenching Process
Digging on a property isn’t something to take lightly. We follow a careful process to reduce surprises and protect your home.
We walk the site, check access for equipment, and talk through what needs to be installed, repaired, or removed.
We outline the scope, expected depth and length of trenches or cuts, and provide a clear estimate.
We complete the excavation or trenching, coordinate with any needed trades, and keep the site as orderly as possible.
After work is installed in the ground, we backfill, compact where needed, and rough grade the disturbed areas.
