Every Residential Excavation Job, Covered
Adding onto your home, installing a pool, or fixing a drainage problem — we have the right equipment and the hands-on experience to get it done properly.
Foundation Excavation
Adding a room, building a garage, or putting up a new structure? We dig foundations and basements to specification and have the site ready for your concrete crew.
Pool Excavation
In-ground pool installation starts with a perfect dig. We excavate to your pool contractor's specs and manage all soil hauling and backfill as needed.
Septic System Excavation
New installs, replacements, or repairs — we excavate for septic tanks, distribution boxes, and leach fields precisely and efficiently, coordinated with your septic company.
Yard Grading & Drainage
Water pooling in your yard? We regrade the landscape to direct runoff away from your foundation and toward proper drainage — protecting your home long-term.
Driveway Excavation & Base Prep
A lasting driveway starts below the surface. We excavate and install the proper crushed stone base layer before paving — ensuring your surface lasts for decades.
Hardscape & Retaining Wall Excavation
We excavate and prepare for retaining walls, raised beds, patios, and hardscape features — coordinated with our hardscaping team for a seamless result.
Compact Equipment — Protecting Your Property as We Work
Many residential sites have limited access — finished landscaping, narrow side yards, and underground irrigation. MDZ Crew uses compact excavators and mini skid steers when needed to minimize turf damage and reach areas where full-size machines can't go. We plan access routes carefully and restore the work area completely before we leave.
