Our Foundation Site Prep Process

Proper foundation excavation requires more than just digging—it’s about precision, careful planning, and ensuring a strong base for your build. Here’s how we get it done:

Stripping Organics

We remove all topsoil and organic material to expose a firm, stable subgrade.

Excavation & Spoil Management

Excavated material can be neatly stored on site for reuse or hauled off site depending on your project requirements.

Digging to Elevation

We shape and level the excavation to precise elevations, ready for footings or foundation walls.

Backfilling

After the foundation walls are set, we backfill with approved material, compacted in controlled lifts for stability and support.

Final Grading and Cleanup

Rough grade around the foundation, shaping slopes to direct water away from the home. Final cleanup leaves the lot ready for the next trade
