What to Expect When You Book

Your project begins with a thorough site assessment to measure existing grade, identify drainage concerns, and map out any underground utilities. In Union, where clay content can complicate compaction and runoff patterns shift with every slope, this step ensures you avoid costly surprises mid-dig. You'll receive a clear timeline and a breakdown of the equipment required, from excavators to laser-guided grading tools.

K H Custom Remodeling coordinates each phase to protect your property boundaries, driveways, and landscaping. Trenches are cut to exact depth for sewer lines, water mains, or electrical conduits. Material is hauled away or redistributed according to your project plan, and the final grade is tested for proper pitch before any structural work begins.

You'll see heavy machinery operated with precision, protective barriers placed where needed, and daily progress updates that keep you informed. Once the ground is level and compacted, you're ready to pour footers, lay aggregate, or begin hardscape installation with confidence that the subsurface won't shift or settle.

Key Benefits of This Service

Clients in Union often ask about timing, equipment, and what happens when weather changes the schedule. These questions help you prepare for a smooth excavation and grading project.

How long does a typical excavation and grading project take?
Most residential excavations are completed in one to three days, depending on site size and soil conditions. Larger commercial projects or sites with extensive drainage work may take up to a week.
What equipment is used for grading on sloped lots?
You'll see excavators, bulldozers, and compact track loaders equipped with laser-guided grading systems to ensure precise contours and consistent slope angles, especially important on Union's hilly terrain.
Can you work around existing trees and landscaping?
Yes, protective fencing and hand trenching are used near root zones to preserve mature trees. You'll discuss which features to protect during the site walk.
What happens if heavy rain delays the schedule?
Clay soils in Union become difficult to compact when saturated, so work pauses until conditions improve. You're notified immediately, and the schedule adjusts to maintain quality.
Do you handle drainage correction during excavation?
Absolutely. French drains, swales, and catch basins are integrated into the grading plan to redirect water away from foundations and hardscape areas.

With the right crew and equipment, your Union property transforms from rough terrain into a ready-to-build site that meets code and stands up to weather year after year. Contact us now to schedule your free on-site estimate and lock in your project timeline.
