Professional excavation services that protect your property and stay on schedule.
You need excavation work that sets your project up for success, not problems down the road. When the job’s done right, your foundation stays level, water drains where it should, and you don’t get surprise calls about settling or flooding.
Good excavation work is invisible – you never think about it because everything just works. Your basement stays dry. Your driveway doesn’t crack from poor base preparation. Your septic system handles what you throw at it without backing up or failing inspection.
The difference between a smooth project and a nightmare usually comes down to the first few feet of dirt. Get that wrong, and you’re looking at expensive fixes that could have been avoided with proper site preparation from the start.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been moving dirt in French Mountain for years. We know how the soil behaves here, where the water goes when it rains, and what it takes to dig a foundation that stays put.
Every property in this area has its quirks. Some spots have ledge that’ll dull your blade if you hit it wrong. Others have clay that turns into soup when it’s wet. We’ve seen it all, and more importantly, we know how to work with it.
You’re not getting a crew that’s guessing their way through your job. You’re getting operators who’ve done this work in your neighborhood and understand what it takes to get it right.
We start by walking your property and talking through what you need. No surprises, no hidden complications that suddenly appear once we’re halfway done. We’ll tell you upfront if there’s ledge to deal with or drainage issues to consider.
Once we’re clear on the scope, we handle permits and utility markouts. You don’t need to chase down paperwork or worry about hitting a gas line. We coordinate with the right people to keep your project moving and everyone safe.
The actual excavation happens fast once we start. Our equipment is sized right for the job – big enough to move dirt efficiently, but not so big it tears up your yard getting to the work area. We dig to grade, compact what needs compacting, and clean up so you’re ready for the next phase.

French Mountain properties often need septic systems, and that means dealing with perc tests, setback requirements, and soil conditions that vary from lot to lot. We work with local septic designers and installers who know what the health department expects to see.
Site preparation here isn’t just about moving dirt. It’s about understanding drainage patterns, preserving the trees you want to keep, and setting up access routes that don’t turn your property into a mud pit. We’ve learned these lessons on other people’s jobs, so you don’t have to learn them on yours.
