The Right Equipment for Every Job
We own and operate a full fleet — excavators, skid steers, bulldozers, and dump trucks. We match the machine to your project, not the other way around. That means no oversized equipment tearing up your yard, and no underpowered machines dragging out your timeline.
North Texas is famous for its expansive black clay — locally called "black gold" — a montmorillonite-rich soil that swells dramatically when wet and shrinks and cracks in drought. That movement is constant, and it affects everything from foundation excavation to drainage grading to driveway installation. Our crew understands how to work with Dallas soil conditions and adjusts the plan accordingly before a problem becomes a delay. We bring that hands-on experience to every job, from a backyard pool dig in Plano to a full land clearing project in Tarrant County.

Common Questions About Excavation in Dallas
Do I need a permit for excavation work in Des Moines?
Most excavation projects in Des Moines require a permit through the City of Des Moines Development Services Department. Demolition work requires its own permit as well. We guide you through what your specific project needs and handle demolition permits directly. For permits tied to a new build, we coordinate with your general contractor.
How do I find a reliable excavation contractor near me in Des Moines?
Look for a contractor who is licensed and carries general liability insurance — and will provide a certificate of insurance (COI) before work starts. Ask whether they own their own equipment or subcontract the work out. A contractor who owns and operates their own fleet has more control over your timeline and quality. Always get a written quote before any work begins.
How long does residential excavation take in Des Moines?
A standard residential foundation dig typically takes one to three days depending on the size of the footprint and soil conditions. The Des Moines area's clay-heavy soils can slow things down compared to sandier ground, especially during Iowa's wet spring season. Land clearing or larger sitework projects run longer — usually three to seven days. We give you a realistic timeline with every estimate.
What is the difference between excavation and grading?
Excavation is the process of removing soil to create a hole or trench — like digging a foundation or a pool. Grading is the process of leveling and sloping the ground to a specific elevation. Most construction projects need both: excavation first to remove material, then grading to shape the site correctly before building begins.
Can you dig a pool in my backyard in Des Moines?
Yes. We handle inground pool excavation for concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl liner pools throughout the Greater Des Moines area. We coordinate directly with your pool builder, handle all soil hauling, and work within the access constraints of your yard. Before any dig, we verify underground utility locations through Iowa 811.
Are you licensed and insured for excavation and demolition in Iowa?
Yes. We are fully licensed and carry general liability insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) upon request before work begins. All demolition work is properly permitted through the appropriate local authority.
