"Hired Hughes to install a 20x10 driveway extension. Communication about about scheduling could be improved, but I know weather was a complicating factor. My project was not time critical in any case. Pat was very clear about what was going to be done and accommodated changes in design. Once started, they completed in three days. The workmanship was excellent and they were respectful of our property and schedule. The end product is exactly what I needed. I would not hesitate to hire Hughes again or recommend to neighbors."

"After snowfall in late February 2022 melted, I noticed a dip or trench that formed in my near year-old front yard, the trench under the builder warranty, but with the delays in the building industry, the builder couldn't repair it until well after the grass seed planting season, so PG Excavating provided me an estimate for which the builder reimbursed, and PG did the topsoil fill and grading the same day that they were scheduled to do sump pump drainage work in my backyard. PG is professional, friendly, and hard-working--completed all the work and cleaned up in about six hours all on the same day."

"Trustworthy. Rob did everything he said he would do and a little bit more. Everything was well done. One task (stump grinding) took longer than he had estimated because it was a bit outside of his core experiences, but instead of hurrying through other tasks or passing the extra costs on to us he did as he said he would do without complaint. I wish more businesses operated this way."

"Great skill and communication! Evan and crew did an outstanding job of communicating needs and ideas for feathering in final grade. They even took time to identify potential watershed problems and provided feedback on solutions. Great value for skill and experience. I highly recommend MX for your excavation needs. The finish grade of our residence turned out better than I had anticipated."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Dayton, OH

You can excavate in winter, but frozen soil slows down the process and increases labor costs. Many grading companies offer discounted rates during their off-season, so ask for a winter quote and weigh the savings against a longer timeline. A brief conversation with a local professional will help determine whether cold-weather excavation is suitable for your site.

Foundation digs can be completed in as little as three days or take up to three weeks. Soil density, access, weather, and hidden obstacles all play a role, so every timeline is a bit different. Have your contractor walk the site and flag any potential issues early—clear expectations help keep both the schedule and budget on track.

You must always call 811 before excavating. Dial 811 a few days in advance so that utility crews can mark underground lines and ensure the area is safe for digging. Hitting a buried cable or gas pipe can be both dangerous and expensive, and many municipalities will not issue permits unless the site is flagged correctly.

To remove soil during an excavation project, your crew will load the spoil into dump trucks with a backhoe or excavator, haul it to a disposal site, and return for the next load. Efficient hauling keeps the work zone clear and the project moving. Depending on the site and volume of osil, multiple trucks may rotate to maintain a steady flow.
