At Scott's Backhoe Service, we approach basement excavation with precision and care to ensure a solid foundation for your project. Our process begins with a thorough site assessment to understand soil conditions, property layout, and project specifications.

Whether it’s for a new home or an addition, we deliver reliable, clean, and expertly executed excavation services every time.

Drain Tile Installs

We specialize in installing drain tile systems to protect your property from water damage and ensure proper drainage. Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your site to determine the best placement and design for optimal water flow.

Using precise excavation techniques, we create trenches around your foundation or designated areas, ensuring the correct depth and slope for effective drainage. We then install high-quality perforated drain tiles, surrounded by gravel or other filtration materials, to direct water away from your structure.

Our attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right ensure a durable, reliable drainage solution that helps keep your property dry and secure.

Footers

Our operators understand the critical role footers play in providing a stable foundation for any structure. Our process begins with careful site preparation and layout to ensure the footers are dug to the exact specifications required for your project.

Using precision equipment, we excavate trenches that meet the proper depth, width, and slope to support the weight and integrity of your building. We pay close attention to soil conditions and local building codes, ensuring every footer excavation is both durable and compliant.

With decades of experience, we deliver clean, accurate, and dependable results to give your project the strong foundation it needs to last for years to come.

Pond Building

We specialize in creating custom ponds tailored to your property. Our process begins with site evaluation to determine the best location and size for the pond, ensuring proper drainage and water flow. Using our reliable excavators, we carefully dig and shape the pond to match the design specifications. Our skilled operators remove soil efficiently while maintaining precision for smooth contours and proper depth. Once the excavation is complete, we focus on grading and compacting the base for a durable, long-lasting pond. Whether for aesthetic, recreational, or agricultural purposes, we guarantee a professionally installed pond that meets your needs.

Retaining Walls

At Scott’s Backhoe Service, we build durable retaining walls designed to stabilize slopes and enhance your property’s functionality and appearance. Our process begins with site preparation, where we excavate and level the area to create a stable foundation. Using high-quality materials, we carefully construct the wall layer by layer, ensuring proper alignment and drainage to prevent future erosion or water buildup. Whether you need a retaining wall for structural support, landscaping, or both, our team combines precision and expertise to deliver a strong, reliable, and visually appealing solution tailored to your needs.
