Additions & Foundations
Digging for additions — right up against the house
Additions are tight work: an existing foundation, a finished yard, utilities in the way. Our zero-tail-swing machines fit where a full-size excavator won't, and our crew digs by hand where a machine shouldn't go.

- Excavate for additions, garages and footings
- Over-dig to your depths, with hand work next to the existing foundation
- Extra dirt hauled away — or kept on site for backfill, your call
- Backfill and rough grade after the foundation is in
- Stone hauled in and spread with the machine
