What Our Clients Say
Great job!
Great Work
10 stars! Dog Play Area Turf Yard
We had Site Prep install a clean, cozy, dedicated, healthy, protected, safe, and secure space for our Golden Retriever puppy (Aspen) to ensure her comfort in any weather: Dog Play Area Turf Yard.
Turf areas provide several benefits for pets: reduced exposure to harmful chemicals, allergens, and parasites found in natural grass. Promotes better hygiene and cleanliness by preventing mud, dirt, and pests from getting into the house. Enhances physical activity and mental stimulation of pets by providing a safe space for them to play and exercise … just to name a few of the advantages.
The crew is a powerhouse of talent! Not only do they have great work ethic, are polite, courteous, detail-oriented, focused, *hardworking*, and meticulous … Site Prep is undeniably committed to excellence.
Start to finish during the entire process, working with Site Prep was an outstanding experience. From visiting our home to review the work, continued communications throughout the job, preparing the area, excavating and installing the perimeter, adding the stabilization fabric and crushed stone/gravel, to adding the material and final turf product. I repeat: 10 stars! Highly recommend.
Ben, Dave, Sam, AJ, Alex, Richie, Ed, Tim: thank you for an outstanding job and for a pawsitively amazing dog play area for our Golden girl Aspen!
Luke O’Braonain
His crew arrived at 7:00 as promised. There young, strong, personable competent brothers. They understood what I needed and began quietly working. An hour later the soil was excavated, after another hour the gravel was down and the form was set. The concrete truck came and poured. The crew set to leveling the concrete, troweling smooth. It rained that night and there was no puddle on the pad showing how exact they were. They cleaned up and left before lunch. Honestly, I was flabbergasted by the finish. I was so happy. We could now proceed building
If you foolishly choose another contractor you will be venturing into the contractor’s world of “A day late and a dollar short.”Be smart, choose John, his crew and Site Preparations to do your job. I was so thoroughly pleased with the finished job that I gave him a tip. I didn’t mind since his bid was so competitive. I was so thankful that I chose Site Preparations!!

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.
