Making The Way For Your Concrete
Give your concrete the longest life possible by ensuring it's poured onto properly-prepared ground
Concrete will only be as good as the ground it's sitting on (or in!) If the surface isn't graded accurately or well-drained, the result will be long-term problems for your investment. That's why it's so important you work with an experienced excavation contractor who has the know-how and the equipment to make a firm base for your concrete project.

What To Know About Excavation For Concrete Preparation
You want to get the most out of your concrete investment, here's a few things you should know about preparing a site for concrete
A Good Base Is Critical
They say preparation is 90% of success, and we'd agree! If you want to enjoy years of use from your concrete, it's critical you prepare a perfect base for it. That means grading the land, mitigating water, and knowing your soil conditions.
Understand Your Soil
Dirt is a lot more than just, you know, dirt. There's a million complex compounds that changes how it reacts to excavation. Avoiding future problems with your concrete means understanding how to work with your specific soil.
Level For Success
If you're pouring a concrete pad, the grade of the ground is key. Specifically, you want a flat surface to create a perfectly level base for the concrete. This ensures your concrete pad will be resistant to damage and enjoy a long life.
Watch Out For Water
Excess ground water can cause problems for concrete curing, so you need to ensure your site is well-drained and won't pool water around your brand-new concrete. You may even need to re-shape the landscape to drain water away.

Common Questions About Concrete Preparation in New York
Questions about concrete prep? We have answers below! Don't see your question? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help
What kinds of concrete projects can you prep for?
Practically all of them! Foundation footings, pads, blocks, columns, walkways, stairs, you name it. Every great concrete project starts with expert and accurate preparation of the ground. If you'd like to ask about your specific concrete project, please get in touch!
What kind of septic systems do you provide excavation for?
Any kind! Chamber, drip, aerobic, mound, and beyond, we have the experience and equipment to deliver a phenomenal result to you. Each type of septic system needs a different strategy for excavation, so working with an expert contractor is key for success.
Why is proper excavation for septic systems so important?
The soils here in Central New York are extremely challenging, with many areas seeing a high water table. If your septic system is not properly excavated, it can lead to issues like your septic tank shifting or improper drainage in your field. These can be costly fixes later on.
Do I need to do any preparation before you visit?
Depending on the conditions on your site, you may need to move certain obstructions so we can safely navigate. We'll perform a site visit prior to beginning work which identifies any preparation you may need to do. In most cases, it's very minor and easy!
What happens if you find underground lines or pipes?
Before we do any excavation work our team checks for the locations of underground utilities. However, there are times where a utility may not be marked on drawings. If we discover any unmarked infrastructure, we'll immediately stop to resolve the situation before continuing.
