Commercial Excavation Services

Commercial sites need groundwork that supports what happens above it, from buildings and parking areas to drainage, utilities and access. Whether you're preparing a property for new construction, redeveloping an existing site or completing improvements around an operating business, careful excavation helps keep the project moving.

With over 21 years of excavation experience, we understand the planning and coordination required on commercial sites.

Our Commercial Site Process

1. SITE + PROJECT REVIEW

We begin by reviewing the property, project plans, proposed work, access, grades, existing infrastructure and construction requirements.

2. EXCAVATION PLANNING

We determine equipment access, excavation requirements, elevations, drainage considerations and material handling while considering the sequencing of the larger project.

3. SITE PREPARATION

Where required, the site is cleared, stripped and prepared for construction, including removing unsuitable material and establishing access for the work ahead.

4. EXCAVATION + SITE WORK

We complete the required excavation, grading, trenching, drainage or other earthwork according to the project requirements and site conditions.

5. BACKFILLING + SITE COMPLETION

As construction progresses, we complete required backfilling and grading, leaving areas prepared for the next trade, surface or stage of development.

Commercial Projects We Work On

Every commercial site has different requirements, but the fundamentals remain the same: access, grades, drainage and underground infrastructure need to work together.

Why Choose Kerkhoff Excavating + Septic?

21 Years of Experience

More than two decades of excavation experience gives us a practical understanding of earthwork, grades, drainage and the demands of active construction sites.

Experienced Operators

Commercial excavation requires efficient production without losing sight of elevations, existing infrastructure and the work happening around the excavation.

Excavation + Septic

For commercial properties outside municipal sewer service, we can provide onsite wastewater design and installation alongside the excavation required for the project.

Site Preparation Experience

From clearing and stripping through building pads, foundations, access and grading, we understand how the early stages of a site influence the construction that follows.

Drainage Experience

Commercial properties can create substantial surface runoff from roofs, parking areas and other hard surfaces. We consider water management and site grades as part of the larger excavation plan.

Professional Equipment

We have professional excavation equipment suited to site preparation, trenching, grading, demolition and a range of commercial earthwork.

Multiple Site Services

Excavation, drainage, demolition, clearing, septic and grading frequently overlap. Our range of services allows us to take on multiple components of a commercial site project.

Commercial Site Preparation for New Construction

Preparing a commercial property for construction can involve substantial earthwork before the building itself begins. Depending on the site, this may include clearing, stripping topsoil, removing unsuitable material, cut and fill, building pad preparation, foundation excavation, drainage, utility trenches and access preparation.

We work from project plans and site requirements to prepare the property for the trades and construction stages that follow.
