A foundational component of the construction process, almost every structure we encounter in our daily lives started with an excavation project. The construction of our homes, roadways, buildings, lakes and pools all began with excavation. Providing the appropriate environment for a strong foundation is crucial for the construction of a secure building. As such, construction excavation requires experience, skill and a close attention to detail. At DLC, our team of experts use advanced techniques, tools and heavy machinery to ensure the job is done right, and done well. From site preparation to simple backyard excavation projects, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality workmanship and best possible service. Guaranteed.
Also known as land levelling, construction grading is most often used to level soil or material for the base use of buildings, roadways, parking lots, driveways, and of course, for landscaping purposes. Lot grading plans reveal not only how the land around a building should be sloped (and to what degree), but also (and more importantly) how and where the drainage swales should be positioned. Upon the project’s completion, a final grading certificate is presented, confirming the accuracy of the job. Moving forward, it is the responsibility of the property/homeowner to ensure the grading terms continue to be met. Our team is well versed and experienced in final grading conditions, and have helped many clients acquire and maintain certification.
Residential landscaping and hardscaping projects - including, but not limited to: fences, walkways, decks, patios, swimming pools and retaining walls - should all be executed with drainage plans in consideration. Far too often problems arise as a result of poor planning. Blocked drainage routes can lead to extensive flooding issues and property damage, not only for you, but also for those around you. Consulting a drainage professional regarding your project, no matter how small, is absolutely crucial. Experts in the field, the DLC team is equipped to accomplish any and all landscaping, hardscaping and construction projects without disrupting any existing drainage. Additionally, we are poised to provide proficient drainage planning advice for new builds.
