Professional excavation that keeps your project on track and on budget.
Your foundation is everything. Get it wrong, and you’re looking at expensive fixes, delayed timelines, and headaches that could have been avoided.
When you work with experienced excavating contractors, you get precise digging that follows your plans exactly. No surprises when the concrete crew shows up. No delays because the grade is off or the corners aren’t square.
You also get someone who knows how to work around existing utilities without turning your project into a disaster. That means your water stays on, your power stays connected, and your neighbors don’t hate you for shutting down the street.
The right excavation work sets up everything that comes after. Your foundation pours clean. Your drainage works. Your project moves forward instead of backward.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving South Glens Falls and the surrounding area for years. We know the local soil conditions, understand the permit requirements, and have the relationships with inspectors that keep projects moving.
You’re not getting a crew that’s learning your area on your dime. You’re getting contractors who have dug foundations in your neighborhood before and know what to expect when we hit the ground.
We carry proper licensing and insurance because that’s what professional contractors do. We show up with the right equipment for your specific job, not whatever happens to be on the truck that day.
First, we review your plans and visit your site to understand exactly what needs to happen. We check for utilities, assess soil conditions, and identify any potential issues before they become problems.
Next, we handle the permits and notifications required in South Glens Falls. No guessing about what’s required or hoping the inspector doesn’t notice something that should have been done differently.
Then the actual excavation begins. We dig to the exact specifications, maintain proper grades for drainage, and keep the work area clean and safe. We coordinate with other trades so your project flows smoothly from one phase to the next.
Finally, we complete any final grading and cleanup so your site is ready for the next step in your construction process.
