Our Excavation Services in Midlothian, VA
Most homeowners need excavation work at some point. Whether for a home addition, garage, pool, or new outdoor space. We handle all types of residential digging projects, including foundations, driveways, sheds, and landscaping areas. Our equipment is powerful enough to work efficiently but small enough to fit in tight spaces.
Business and commercial property owners rely on us for site excavation. We prepare sites for new buildings, clear land for parking lots, dig trenches for utilities, and handle grading for proper drainage. We work efficiently to meet deadlines and follow all safety and code rules. We coordinate with other contractors, arrive on time, and keep communication clear throughout the project.
We offer complete demolition services. Whether you have an old house, shed, garage or deck that you need to take down, we can do it safely and efficiently. Submit your project details on our Free Estimate form, and we can provide you with the information, and services you need. We haul everything away so your lot is clean and ready for the next step.
Proper grading is important for drainage, stable foundations, and usable outdoor spaces. Grading means shaping the ground to create the right slopes and heights. We provide accurate grading for construction sites, driveways, parking areas, yards, and pathways to direct water away from buildings. Correct grading prevents problems like flooding, foundation cracks, and erosion.
If you are building an addition, garage, or new structure? We dig foundations that follow building codes and provide strong support. We dig to the exact depth, level the bottom for footings and slabs, make sure dimensions are correct, and compact the ground to prevent settling.
Installing a new driveway or expanding your parking area starts with proper excavation. We remove old materials if needed, dig to the right depth for the base, shape the slope for drainage, and compact the ground to prevent settling. Whether using concrete, asphalt, or pavers, proper excavation and base preparation help your driveway last for decades instead of cracking or sinking.
Need trenches for water lines, sewer pipes, electrical conduit, or drainage? We provide professional trenching for all utility installations. We call Miss Utility 811 before digging to mark underground lines. We dig trenches to the right depth and width, keep proper slope for sewer and drainage, and backfill and compact after installation. Proper trenching ensures your utilities work correctly and prevents future problems.
Proper excavation and base preparation are key to walls that stay straight and strong. We dig the footing to the right depth, create level bases, prepare step-backs for terraced walls, and add drainage behind the wall. A solid base ensures your retaining walls hold back soil safely for decades.

Our 5-Step Excavation Process
Free Consultation
Call us at (804) 291-8273 or use our website to schedule a site visit. We come to your property, measure the area, check soil and access, look for challenges like trees or underground utilities, and answer your questions. Then we provide a clear written estimate. The consultation is free with no obligation.
Planning and Permits
Once you approve our estimate, we handle the planning. We call Miss Utility 811 to mark underground lines, check and get any required permits, and verify property lines if needed. We schedule a start date that fits your timeline and coordinate with other contractors when necessary.
Site Preparation and Safety Setup
Before digging, we prepare the area. We mark the excavation zone, set up safety barriers if needed, protect driveways and landscaping, and bring our equipment to the site. Safety is our priority, and every crew member knows the plan and their responsibilities.
Excavation and Earthmoving
Now the digging begins. We follow the plans carefully, digging to the correct depth and size. We separate materials, topsoil, clay, and debris go into different piles. Debris is hauled away. We check levels with laser tools to stay accurate and let you know immediately if anything unexpected comes up.
Final Grading and Cleanup
After excavation, we finish grading and clean up the site. We smooth and slope the ground correctly, compact areas for structures or paving, add temporary erosion control if needed, and remove all equipment and debris. We leave your property ready for construction or landscaping and do a final walkthrough to make sure you are satisfied.
