Excavating
Services
From foundation digs to landscape reshaping and property development, our excavation services set the stage for safe and successful builds. We remove soil, grade land, and prepare areas for structural work, utility placement, and long-term ground support.
We remove trees, brush, and vegetation to create buildable space, improve property access, or support agricultural use. On-site mulching turns organic material into beneficial ground cover, improving soil health and minimizing cleanup needs.
Proper site preparation prevents drainage issues, soil movement, and foundation failure. We handle land grading, building pads, compaction, and access routes to ensure your project starts on stable, well-prepared ground.
Keeping your business accessible during winter is essential. We provide commercial snow plowing, walkway clearing, and ice control services to help local companies operate safely throughout the season.
Our team digs trenches for water, sewer, gas, electrical, and communication lines with accuracy and safety. We follow grade requirements and municipal standards to support proper installation and protect existing infrastructure.
We haul, spread, and compact dirt and rock to stabilize land, build up property areas, support foundations, and improve landscape flow. Whether improving soil for building or placing rock for erosion control, we handle it with precision.
Our trenching services support utility lines, drainage systems, foundation drains, and irrigation routes. Each trench is dug to exact depth and slope requirements for long-term performance and system stability.
We design and install durable rock and gravel driveways for homes, farms, and commercial sites. Using proper grading and compaction techniques, we build drive surfaces that stand up to Kansas weather and traffic demands.
