They gave me an appointment of 7 AM and I was so impressed that they arrived on time to the minute! I met Samuel and Roman, who were too young men who impressed me tremendously. They explained to me the entire procedure and how long it would take to complete. They were very skilled and professional. It was good to see two young men demonstrate such great work ethics and responsibility! That is rarely seen by young people today. I could not speak more highly of this company and the two young men that came out to perform the work for me today. Both young men took care that my property was not damaged by their heavy equipment or the work they performed. They cleaned up after themselves prior to leaving and went over the final results with me. I would highly recommend this company for any excavating work to be done. I am one that is rarely impressed and usually disappointed by contractors. They did not disappoint and met all my expectations to the fullest.. Great job I commend you all!Read moreALV UjUy7 l9jZ68 B5Wa5GI2KpnvqYHasIsqBMBG7Uc52anNC7YMQuL=w80 h80 pDustinWe got a gravel shed pad installed by Site Prep for our new shed we had built. Communication with the employees at Site Prep leading up to the day it was installed was very professional and everyone was very helpful. AJ and James went above and beyond excavating, grading, and building out the gravel pad. Really pleased with the work, quality, and attention to detail both these guys did! Will definitely refer them to anyone that needs their skills and will use them again in the future for any big projects like this. Thanks!Read moreACg8ocKpblizG PHp07T4uYqsUSYhG2SFXvkkIYXnY0Giybgk4VfqA=w80 h80 pPamela RosenthalStephen was very personable and took the time to stake out 2 variations and share the benefits of each. He and Melvin created a secure base for our upcoming shed. The foundation looks great and the surrounding wood appears perfectly aligned. After digging / creating the site space, they left no traces of extra dirt and I would recommend them without hesitation.Read moreACg8ocLbG7ra2rKB0Vm5uvnav 1da5NPthvI9hwEUDmllGGV21qBIA=w80 h80 pLinda WilsonBoth gentlemen worked their buts off digging, preparing and stoning the area for out garage and got the job done perfectly!Read moreALV UjU5P3OHU8iueIHR215TrzioyIiD4R3juBaiEN2f35YU1u4DI1iJZQ=w80 h80 pK WI can’t recommend this company highly enough! They prepared our site for a building, which included excavation, building a retaining wall, gravel pad, and finished grading. AJ & Dave arrived right on schedule, and wasted no time getting started. They were fast, friendly, knowledgeable, conscious of my property, and very thorough. It’s quite evident that they take pride in their work, and it really shows! I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for any future needs!Read moreACg8ocJsP2Cd4VMoBQ2ONSwbBhQab2xHTIF0JQOGKO8LV ZL aN7ZA=w80 h80 pMitras IndiaBen and James behaved like true professionals. They sent an early notification ahead of their arrival. They discussed the location of the pad with us and let us verify the final boundary markings before they started digging. They cleaned up properly so everything was neat when they left. They took interest in the work. We are happy with the outcome.Read moreALV UjWW2DNSQFBKwZHDJ l8ctEijE9KGCVaIshiZdMeVvhu8tekFKM=w80 h80 pJoe JacksonPremium work, excellent customer service, job scheduled & finished quickly. During my 40 years of home ownership I've had a number sheds built/rolled in and I learned early on that a solid pad that deals with moisture is key to a healthy structure. So these days I *always* have a level, chip stone foundation with proper attention to water drainage installed before putting up a shed. I've used different companies. My shed manufacturer recommended Site Prep. Bottom line is: they were terrific, and they were about HALF the cost of the landscape/hardscape companies I've used in the past. Jesus did a visit before to talk to me, get precise location, determine the election & stake out the corners of the pad. He was super knowledgable and gave me good advice. The excavation was a little tricky because some irrigation lines went under the site. He understood that and they took care to not excavate down far enough to cut the lines. The team showed up around 7:30 AM and by 9 AM they were done, and the pad is perfect and ready for the structure. I give them my HIGHEST recommendation.Read moreALV UjVMISogjlUbc9mpaRG B0XQAcjGXLQlhIStpmab7l1Jg0FluT0=w80 h80 pSam HayesThe Site Prep "experience" was fantastic in every way. Liz did a very through site survey. Sam was the project manager/scheduler and worked hard to accommodate our schedule requirements. Ben was the project foreman. AJ and Dave were total pros and was focused on installing the pad exactly the way we envisioned it (location/orientation/etc). They checked back several times during the excavation and construction process to make sure they were executing to our satisfaction. AJ and Save worked meticulously and expertly to ensure the pad was level and the retaining wall was constructed properly and looked nice. The crew minimized the impact of the equipment and materials on the yard and they cleaned up after the pad was complete. They even filled in a few ruts that were unavoidable. The pad was excavated and installed in just a few hours. You can't go wrong with SITE PREP.Read moreACg8ocJ65lX S6IebQl2nldBFO7N act7OT NdG7jpELN8TD Gc8ZQ=w80 h80 pMichael JensenGreat job on the site prep and they also dug a little ditch for me to put a drain pipeRead moreACg8ocIT0czrwSwQsEQa7noOsqxWBU7k9gLZnLdsUgHfn4W c5RCw=w80 h80 pMaryAnnWOW, Jay, Jesus & Steven were fantastic!! They made the foundation and prepared the site for our new 12 x 18 wooden shed. They did an outstanding job and we couldn’t ask for anything more. They dug out the area, leveled it, installed wooden barrier, used rebar spikes to secure everything, layed down a weed barrier, and then filled the area with clean stone. LOOKS PERFECT!!Read moreACg8ocI Dvf4q9dJn4 c tzWXCTKukF537K8PuCZtgRY1s RaVSEpQ=w80 h80 pSam CohenWe needed a company to install astroturf around the perimeter of our patio as our dog dug right through the river rocks that were there. Googling I found Site Prep. The reviews were too good to believe and they were about 90 minutes from where I live (Bucks County Doylestown area). With my instincts and hope in humanity that all would go smooth I hired them. I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. Ben and crew were courteous, kept me in the loop, tidied up and did a wonderful job. Thanks Mike for running an honest, efficient and quality company.Read moreACg8ocJvmaxJ5lhEvVigoB6g1cqtMYEeXEW4ovqJb2zrjmkI39DL4Q=w80 h80 pBrian BertiVery friendly everything you would want in an excavation company.

excavating FAQs

Excavation services involve professionally removing soil, rocks, or debris to prepare land for construction, drainage, or landscaping. This initial step ensures the site is level, stable, and ready for development.

Excavation rates vary based on equipment, soil conditions, project complexity, and location. Projects with rocky or clay-heavy soil may require specialized machinery and skilled operators. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your site and project requirements.

The three main types are topsoil, earth, and rock excavation. Each requires specific machinery and techniques suited to the material and project purpose.

Excavation is costly due to the need for heavy machinery, skilled operators, fuel, maintenance, permits, and proper waste removal. The process prioritizes safety, precision, and long-term structural stability.

The price for detailed excavation depends on multiple factors — soil composition, depth, site access, and technical requirements. Precision work, such as foundations, retaining walls, or drainage systems, often requires extra time and equipment. We always prepare an individual estimate after a site inspection.

We offer a full range of excavation services, including site preparation, trenching, foundation digging, grading, drainage, sewer, pool, and driveway excavation. All services use modern equipment and experienced professionals.

In most areas, a permit is required if excavation could impact nearby buildings, utilities, or drainage systems. Our team will check local regulations and assist with obtaining necessary approvals before work begins.

Excavation costs are based on project size, soil type, excavation depth, site accessibility, and waste removal. We provide a clear, itemized estimate after reviewing these details.

Soil and debris removal are usually included in the project cost. If needed, we can list this as a separate item. All materials are removed safely and in compliance with environmental standards.

The duration depends on the project size, weather conditions, and soil complexity. Most residential excavations take between several days and one week, while larger commercial projects may require more time.

Before excavation begins, clear the area of debris, plants, or structures that may obstruct machinery. Mark underground utilities and ensure equipment and operators have safe, easy access to the site.
