What Is General Excavation?
General excavation is the foundation of most construction and land improvement projects. It involves the safe and efficient removal, relocation, or placement of soil and rock to prepare a site for construction or infrastructure. From digging footings and basements to site grading and trenching, excavation is where your project begins—and where precision matters most.
Our General Excavation Services Include
- Site Clearing & Preparation: We clear brush, debris, and obstacles to ensure your land is ready for development.
- Cut & Fill Grading: We level and shape the land to create stable surfaces for structures, roads, and landscapes.
- Foundation Excavation: We dig precisely measured spaces for homes, garages, shops, and commercial buildings.
- Trenching for Utilities: We safely trench for water lines, sewer systems, electrical conduits, and drainage systems.
- Backfilling & Compacting: After utilities or foundations are in place, we properly backfill and compact the soil to meet engineering standards.
- Erosion Control Solutions: We implement measures to stabilize soil and prevent washouts or land shifting during and after excavation.

How long does an excavation project typically take?
The duration of an excavation project can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the size of the site, the type of terrain, weather conditions, and the specific requirements of the job. Smaller residential projects—such as digging footings for a home addition or preparing a small driveway—can often be completed in just a few days. However, larger-scale undertakings like commercial site development, utility installations, or multi-acre land clearing may require several weeks or even months to complete.
Additional elements such as permitting delays, soil conditions, and unexpected underground obstacles (like rock formations or buried debris) can also impact the timeline. At Scott Excavation, we evaluate each project carefully and provide a clear, realistic timeframe so our clients know what to expect every step of the way.
