Excavating & Demolition in Detroit
Grading, leveling and excavation for yards and driveways, culvert and sewer line installation, and demolition work like concrete, fence and tree removal.
What Excavation Work Do You Do?
Most of our excavation work happens around homes and driveways, where the ground has to slope, drain or sit level the right way. Common jobs include:
- Grading around the perimeter of a house
- Leveling backyards and filling low spots
- Digging and prep for backyard projects
- French drains for wet areas of the yard
- Culvert installation and replacement
- Sewer line installation
Can You Replace or Fill In a Driveway Culvert?
Yes. A driveway culvert carries water under the driveway, and when it rusts through, gets crushed or clogs up, water backs up and the edge of the driveway starts to wash out. We dig out failing culverts, set new pipe and backfill around it.
If a culvert is no longer needed, we can fill it in and grade the area so water still has somewhere to go.
What Does Demolition Include?
For us, demolition means taking out whatever is in the way so the space can be used again. That covers:
- Concrete removal, from walkways to slabs
- Old fences and rock borders
- Bushes and trees that need to come down
- Backyard features nobody wants anymore, like a sand volleyball court
We haul the material away when the work is done, so you are not left with a pile in the yard.
Why Does Grading Around a House Matter?
The ground right next to your foundation should slope away from the house. When it settles flat or tips back toward the walls, rain and melting snow collect right where they can do the most damage.
Regrading the perimeter sends that water away from the house and gives you a solid base for new beds, sod or a walkway.
Excavating & Demolition FAQ
Can you dig and prep the base for a new patio or walkway?
Yes. We excavate and prep the base, and our landscape and design service can build the patio or walkway on top.
Can you level my yard before new sod goes in?
Yes. Grading and leveling come first so the new lawn starts flat, and we can lay the sod afterward as part of our landscaping work.
Can you remove a concrete slab and put something else in its place?
Yes. We break out and haul away the old concrete, and the space can become a rock bed, new sod or a brick patio.
