Professional excavation services that get your construction project off to the right start.
When excavation is done right, everything else falls into place. Your foundation sits level and secure. Water drains away from your building instead of pooling around it. Your septic system functions properly for decades.
You avoid the headaches that come with cutting corners. No settling foundations that crack your walls. No soggy yards that turn into swamps every time it rains. No failed septic inspections that halt your project.
The difference between good excavation and rushed excavation shows up in ways you’ll notice for years. Proper site preparation means your driveway doesn’t wash out in the first heavy rain. Correct grading means water flows where it should. Professional excavation work is the foundation everything else depends on.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been handling excavation projects throughout Clifton Gardens and the surrounding areas for years. We understand the local soil conditions, drainage patterns, and municipal requirements that affect every dig.
Our operators know the difference between rocky fill and clay soil. They know where the water table sits and how it changes with the seasons. This local knowledge matters when you’re planning foundation excavation or installing septic systems.
We’re licensed, insured, and equipped to handle residential and commercial projects. From single-family home foundations to larger development work, we bring the right equipment and experience to get your project started properly.
Every excavation project starts with understanding what you’re building and what the ground conditions look like. We review your plans, check for utility locations, and assess the site drainage before any equipment moves.
Once we have a clear picture, we mark the excavation area and begin digging to the specified depths and grades. For foundation excavation, this means precise measurements and proper slopes. For septic systems, it means understanding soil percolation and local health department requirements.
After excavation is complete, we handle the finish grading and site cleanup. This includes proper compaction where needed and ensuring water drains away from your foundation. We leave your site ready for the next phase of construction, whether that’s pouring concrete or installing septic components.

Our excavation services cover the full scope of site preparation work. Foundation excavation includes digging to proper depths, maintaining correct slopes, and ensuring adequate drainage around the foundation perimeter. We handle both full basements and crawl space excavations.
For septic systems, we manage everything from initial soil testing coordination to final system installation. This includes excavating for the tank, distribution box, and leach field lines according to local health department specifications.
Site preparation work includes land clearing, rough grading, and finish grading. We can remove trees and stumps, clear brush, and shape your property to proper drainage slopes. Our equipment handles everything from small residential lots to larger commercial sites throughout the Clifton Gardens area.
