How We Work

Every excavation project follows a clear process: assess the site, locate buried utilities, execute the work, and verify everything meets code.

1

Site Assessment

We walk your property, check topography, and identify any slopes or drainage issues. In Linglestown's rolling terrain, grading matters.

2

Utility Locating

Ground-penetrating radar and call-before-you-dig help us avoid gas, water, and electric lines—critical safety steps before any digging begins.

3

Excavation & Grading

We move soil, compact it to spec, and shape grades to meet your foundation or drainage design. Precision matters.

4

Stormwater Setup

We install and repair stormwater systems—catch basins, swales, and pipes—to manage runoff and meet Lower Paxton Township permit codes.

5

Septic & Utility Trenching

From septic tank placement to water main runs, we dig precise trenches and position systems for long-term performance.

6

Final Inspection

We verify all grades, compaction, and drainage meet plan specs. You receive documentation so permits pass and projects move forward.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.
