Excavation services

We offer a wide variety of excavation but here are the main services we have done.

French drains and Down spouts

A French drain is a drainage system designed to manage water runoff from a property, such as rainwater or groundwater. It is typically composed of a trench filled with a layer of gravel or rock and a perforated pipe that is covered with more gravel or rock. The system is designed to channel water away from a building or structure and redirect it to a more suitable location for drainage. The name "French drain" is derived from its origin in France, where it was commonly used to manage standing water on agricultural land.

Dig a trench: Dig a trench that will lead from the downspout to the chosen location. The trench should be deep enough to bury the downspout and wide enough to accommodate the downspout's width.

Route the downspout: Direct the downspout into the trench. Use a flexible, corrugated pipe to route the downspout through the trench. The pipe should be wide enough to accommodate the flow of water.

Bury the downspout: Cover the corrugated pipe with gravel or coarse sand. This will prevent the pipe from collapsing due to the weight of the soil. Then, fill the trench with soil and pack it down.

Install a pop-up emitter: Install a pop-up emitter at the end of the downspout line. This will allow the water to flow out of the pipe and onto the ground once it reaches the endpoint. The emitter should be flush with the ground to prevent tripping hazards.

Culvert and large catch basin installs

Culvert installs refer to the process of installing culverts, which are structures that are typically made of concrete, steel or other materials and are used to allow water to flow under roads, railways, and other structures. The installation of culverts is an important aspect of infrastructure development and requires careful planning and implementation.

The installation of culverts is vital for the proper functioning of any drainage system as it provides a safe and efficient way for water to flow under infrastructure. This can be done by filling the ditches with soil and leveling them out to create a smooth and even surface. Once the surface is leveled, it can be landscaped with grass, plants, or other features to make the area more visually appealing. This not only improves the aesthetics of the property but also helps to prevent accidents and injuries by removing potential hazards.

Erosion control

Erosion control refers to the practices and methods aimed at preventing soil erosion (the process of the removal of the topsoil layer by wind, water, or other natural agents). Erosion can cause environmental damage and reduce soil productivity, leading to economic and social issues.

Some common erosion control practices include planting vegetation, building retaining walls, constructing terraces, installing sediment control measures, and stabilizing slopes.

These measures help reduce the speed of water flow over the ground surface, trap sediment, and prevent soil loss. Erosion control is critical for sustainable land use and resource management.

Grading

Grading dirt work typically involves preparing the ground for construction or landscaping by leveling and smoothing the soil surface to a uniform slope and elevation. The process may include excavation, filling, compacting, and shaping the land to meet the required specifications. Grading dirt work is a crucial step in ensuring that the site can accommodate buildings, roads, drainage systems, or other infrastructure developments. The quality of the grading work can affect the stability, drainage, and appearance of the site, so it requires expertise and attention to detail. The grading work is usually evaluated based on the accuracy, smoothness, compaction, and drainage of the soil, among other factors.
