Excavating in Frankfort, OH
Excavating and site prep for concrete — cut/fill to grade, stripping organics, demolition of old slabs, and grading so the pour goes down on ground that's actually ready. The dirt work that decides whether the concrete lasts.
What's Included
- Excavating and site prep for concrete — cut/fill to grade, strip organics, compact the subgrade
- Demolition and removal of old slabs, asphalt or structures in the way of the pour
- Grading and drainage shaping so water runs away from the finished concrete
- Stone base placement and compaction under slabs and pads
- Tight-access and backyard excavation where bigger equipment can't reach
Our Process for Excavating
- 1
Walk the site & scope it
Heath looks at the access, the existing ground, what has to come out and where the finished grade needs to be — then a clear written estimate with no pricing games.
- 2
Strip, demolish & grade
We strip organics, demolish old slabs or structures in the way, and cut or fill to grade. Stone base goes in and gets compacted where the pour calls for it.
- 3
Finish & hand off to the pour
Final grading and drainage shaping so the concrete goes down on ground that's actually ready — then the pour, with the owner on the job. Dirt work done right is what makes the concrete last.
Signs You Need Excavating
- Ground that isn't graded or prepped for the pour you're planning
- Old concrete, asphalt or debris that has to come out before the new work
- Drainage that has to be shaped so water doesn't sit under or near the slab
- A tight-access site where you need the dirt work done without wrecking the yard

Why Our Excavating Bid Isn't the Cheapest
A concrete bid that looks too good to be true usually is. Here's what's actually in a Richmond Concrete estimate for excavating — and what the cheapest bids leave out.
- Clear written estimates and no surprises — you see the full scope before we start.
- Fully licensed and insured, not the bare minimum a cut-rate bid squeezes under.
- Permits, clean-up and hauling are real overhead — the cheapest bids skip them and leave you the pile. We don't.
