"Dave and AJ from Freedom Contracting & Excavating did a great job for a reasonable price. I had an idea for an outdoor griddle setup using natural gas instead of propane tanks. I thought it was a long shot but they were able to make it happen. Very courteous and straight forward. They even went above and beyond by helping me with the natural gas conversion on my griddle. I would definitely hire them again and if you need any gas line work done, call Freedom C & E for sure! Thanks again!"

"After a spring and summer with numerous hard torrential rains, our long and steep drive had been rutting and eroding at a quickening pace. It was nearly impassible in several spots when P.J. And Mike came to evaluate. They were thorough and provided a very doable estimate. From their attention to detail, i felt confident they would do a good job for the cost. They called ahead and showed up as scheduled. They worked a hard 2-days of 10-11-hrs. I could not believe it was the same drive; leveled and smooth with new asphalt, holes and ruts eliminated and catch basins and water diversion added. I feel it was money very well spent and would recommend Red Dog and its conscientious workers without reservation."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
