Our Process

How Excavation Works

From first call to final walkthrough — here’s what to expect when you work with us.

1

Site Assessment

We assess your site's current conditions — existing grade, soil type, drainage patterns, and project requirements — to plan the excavation scope.

2

Clearing & Demolition

We remove existing concrete, debris, vegetation, or other obstacles from the work area and haul everything off-site.

3

Excavation & Grading

We excavate to the correct depth for your specific application, shape the grade for proper drainage, and prepare the area for subbase installation.

4

Subbase & Compaction

We install and compact a crushed stone subbase to the required depth and density — creating the stable, well-drained foundation that concrete needs to perform long-term.

Why Choose Us

Why Our Excavation Stands Out

The quality of any concrete project starts well below the surface. Inadequate excavation depth, poor grading, and insufficient base compaction are the leading causes of concrete cracking, heaving, and premature failure. LVC Contractors' in-house excavation capability means we control every phase of your project — from clearing the site and digging to proper depth, through gravel base installation and final grading. We have the equipment to handle residential projects of all sizes, and our operators understand exactly what each concrete application requires beneath the surface. Whether you're starting a new construction project or replacing old concrete, we prepare the site the right way.

One Contractor, Total Accountability

Because we self-perform excavation and concrete work, there are no handoffs between subcontractors — we're responsible for the entire project from ground-breaking to finished surface.

Proper Depth & Drainage

We excavate to the correct depth for each application and grade every site for positive drainage — the critical step most concrete failures trace back to getting wrong.

Equipment & Experience

We own and operate the right equipment for residential excavation projects and have 30+ years of experience understanding what each concrete application needs beneath the surface.

Clean Site, Hauling Included

We don't leave debris behind. Old concrete, excavated material, and demolition waste are loaded and hauled off-site, leaving your property clean.

FAQ

Common Questions About
Excavation

In most cases, our excavation work is performed as part of a complete concrete project. However, we can discuss standalone grading and site prep on a case-by-case basis. Call us at (610) 739-2406 to discuss your specific needs.

Yes — demolition and hauling are included as part of our concrete replacement projects. We break up existing concrete, load it, and remove it from your property.

For a concrete patio or slab, we typically excavate 6–8 inches to accommodate a 4-inch gravel base and 4-inch concrete slab. Driveways may require additional depth. The exact depth depends on soil conditions and the specific application.

Yes — we perform excavation for both foundations and retaining walls, including digging to stable footing depth, which is critical for structural concrete work.

We use compact excavators and skid steers suited for residential properties — equipment large enough to work efficiently but sized to minimize damage to your yard and landscaping.
