A concrete slab is only as strong as the ground it sits on. In Northeast Ohio, where clay soil holds water and heaves during winter, "digging a hole" isn't enough. You need engineered site preparation.
Excavation isn't just about moving dirt; it's about water management and stabilization. Whether removing an old cracked driveway or prepping a new patio, we control the entire process from tear-out to final grade.
Concrete Tear-Out & Disposal
Removing old concrete is heavy, messy work. We handle the entire demolition process, including breaking up the old slab, loading it into dump trucks, and hauling it to a recycling facility. We aim to leave your site cleaner than we found it.
Grading & Drainage
Water is the enemy of your home's foundation. We use laser levels to establish the correct grade, ensuring water flows away from your garage and house.
If your property has drainage issues, we can install catch basins, trench drains, or re-grade the surrounding landscape to prevent pooling water.
Specialized Equipment
We own and operate our own fleet of excavation equipment, from heavy-duty backhoes for large driveways to compact skid steers and mini-excavators for tight backyards.
Lawn Protection: We use track mats and careful operating techniques to minimize damage to your lawn when accessing the work area.
Common Questions
Do you haul away the old concrete?
Yes. All demolition debris, old asphalt, and excavated dirt are loaded and hauled away by our trucks as part of the service.
Will heavy trucks ruin my yard?
We are very conscious of your landscaping. We use plywood and track mats to distribute the weight of our equipment, and we typically repair any minor tire ruts with topsoil and seed before we leave.
