Site Levels and Preparation

The Project Cannot Start Until the Ground Is Ready

Changing levels, old material and limited access can prevent a retaining wall, deck or outdoor project from starting on the right base.

Excavation prepares the required area and removes material so the following structure can be built to the documented level and position.

  • Ground requiring a controlled cut
  • Old soil or material needing removal
  • Preparation for a retaining wall
  • Levels needed for a deck or outdoor area
  • Access limitations around an established home

Residential Excavation Services

Prepare the Site for the Work That Follows

We complete excavation for suitable residential and insurance projects where the site, access and required work suit our equipment.

Because our team also builds retaining walls, decks and structural carpentry, the excavation can be planned around the finished project rather than treated as an isolated task.

  • Review access and intended excavation area
  • Confirm levels and removal requirements
  • Protect agreed surrounding areas
  • Excavate and shape the work zone
  • Remove or place material as scoped
  • Prepare for retaining or connected building work

  • Demi ThomasHome Owner

    We hired Built Carpentry and Co to renovate our backyard, and we couldn't be happier with the result! Jordan was incredibly knowledgeable, providing great advice on design and guiding us through the entire process from start to finish. He used his excavator to remove an old retaining wall and replaced it with a sturdy, well-built new one. He also designed and built a beautiful deck, perfect for entertaining.
