What is Excavation?

Excavation is the foundation of a lot of different projects — sometimes literally. Whether you’re digging for a foundation, installing a septic system, improving drainage on your property, constructing a pond, or preparing the ground for any number of other projects, the work has to be done correctly the first time. Cutting corners on excavation creates problems that are expensive to fix later.

Davis & Company has been providing excavation services across Mid-Michigan since 2015. We work on residential properties, farms, and commercial sites throughout Perry, Howell, Brighton, Fenton, Lansing, and the surrounding region. We use the right equipment for the scope of the job and take the time to understand the site before we start digging.

Other Services You Might Need

Excavation is often just the beginning. Once the ground is broken, most projects move into site prep and grading to get the surface level and ready for whatever comes next. If the work is near a driveway or access road, culvert installation may also be needed to make sure drainage is handled correctly. On sites that are being developed from raw land, land clearing typically happens before or alongside excavation work. And once the ground is disturbed, hydro-seeding is a common follow-on to establish grass and prevent erosion while the site stabilizes.

We serve residential homeowners, farmers, and commercial property owners and developers. Excavation needs vary significantly between these client types, and we’re comfortable working across all of them. For larger commercial projects, we have the capacity and equipment to handle the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of excavation projects do you handle?

We work on a wide range of excavation projects — foundations, trenching for utilities or septic systems, drainage work, pond construction, and demolition. If you have something specific in mind, just give us a call and we can let you know whether it’s in our wheelhouse.

Yes. We work with homeowners, farmers, and commercial property owners throughout Mid-Michigan. The equipment and approach scale with the job.

If you’re putting up a structure of any kind — from a pole barn to a full foundation — some form of site preparation or excavation is almost always required. We can come take a look and tell you what the ground situation calls for before you commit to anything.

It depends heavily on the scope and site conditions. A full foundation excavation or pond dig could take several days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we come out for the estimate.

That depends on your project. For many clients, excavation is one part of a larger job — we also do site prep, grading, and other follow-on work. We can coordinate that with you as part of the overall project.

That’s something we discuss as part of the estimate. Some projects have fill that needs to go, others allow for redistribution on-site. We’ll cover that when we walk the job.

Financing

We understand that outdoor and site work can be a significant investment. We do offer financing options — ask us about it when you reach out and we’ll walk you through what’s available.
