Our Unified Process for Earthwork
We use a three-step process to move your site development project forward smoothly:
We review engineered plans, confirm necessary permitting (like the City of Bismarck Excavation Permit), and establish the exact dimensions and grading requirements for the project.
We perform all necessary land clearing, specialized digging (basement, trenches), shaping the land to the required grade, and loading/transporting excavated material or clean, consistent aggregate.
We backfill trenches and foundations properly, compact soil, install drainage/utility lines, and remove all debris and equipment, leaving the site clean and ready for the next phase of construction.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle the necessary permits for excavation?
We guide you through the permitting process. Excavation projects often require permits from the City of Bismarck or Burleigh County, and we always follow regulations, including calling 811 to locate all underground utilities before we dig.
Do you dig basements, slabs, and foundations?
Yes—we specialize in excavating basements, slabs-on-grade, footings, and utility trenches for residential, agricultural, and commercial structures.
Do you perform rough grading and final grading?
Yes. We handle the entire grading process, from initial rough grading to bulk dirt movement, to the final grading required for proper drainage, landscaping, or concrete placement.
How do you handle complex soil conditions in ND?
We have extensive experience with ND soil, frost depths, and environmental factors. We ensure proper depth, slope, compaction, and stabilization techniques are used to prevent settling and drainage issues.
