Site excavation and compaction prepped to spec for whatever comes next.
About this service
What we do, how we do it.
From foundation digs to full-site grading and compaction, our crews and equipment get the ground ready for the next phase. Compaction tested to spec so the project starts on solid base.
Included with every job
- ✓Foundation and utility excavation
- ✓Full-site cut and fill
- ✓Compaction tested to spec
- ✓Drainage and dewatering as needed
Excavation is where every project really starts. Get it right and the rest of the build runs smooth. Get it wrong and you're chasing problems for years. Our crews and equipment are set up to dig, move, and compact ground to the spec your engineer or architect signed off on.
What we excavate
- ✓Foundation and basement digs
- ✓Utility trenching (water, sewer, electrical, gas)
- ✓Footers and grade beams
- ✓Pond, retention, and detention basins
- ✓Site cut and fill for full pad prep
- ✓Driveway and parking lot subgrade
Compaction tested to spec
We compact in lifts, with the right equipment for the soil type, and we'll pull density tests when your spec calls for them. No surprises down the road.
Why Bladecutters for this
We've been doing this kind of work across greater Dayton since 1987. We own our equipment, our crews are insured, and our project managers will actually pick up the phone when you call. That's unusual in this industry. We like it that way.
