"Extrnely professional and easy to work with. I even trusted the company enough to conduct the work while out of town. They did not dissapoint or take advantage of this trust but remained detail oriented, even when they could have cut corners without me knowing. True honesty. Cleaned up my entire yard which had overgrown and died, in addition to installing new plants to replace the old."

"Owner showed up with a small crew and a crazy new piece of equipment. Excavated down below my foundation and to the septic tank. Came into the basement and jackhammered the floor. Removed all the old terracotta pipe inside and out. Installed all new PVC pipe all the way down to the septic tank. Put gravel down to protect the new pipe. Poured concrete in the basement to close the floor back up. Only took one day to get the new pipe in. Came back the next to close the ground and floor up. Great experience, basement no longer smell like sewage."

"Pete & his crew took our extremely sloped, wet yard, and created a dry, level area that is perfect for us. We never thought the yard could or would look this good, but Pete has a great vision and also has the ability to make it into a reality. Pete is honest, and exceeded our expectations. We could not say enough about the positive experience we had with Pete & his crew. Highly recommend."

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.
