Site preparation
Clearing, stripping, cut and fill, and compaction to the engineer's spec. We stake the pad, shoot the grades and leave you a set of as-builts.
Earthwork, done quietly and finished clean.
Hardpan Excavating Co. grades, trenches and preps sites across the valley. Small crew, careful operators, and a site left tidier than we found it.
Services
Grading & drainage
Yards that hold water, driveways that wash out, basements that seep. We fix the fall first and let the landscaping follow.
Utility trenching
Water, sewer, gas, electric and irrigation laterals. Locates called before we break ground, backfill compacted in lifts, sod put back.
Driveways & culverts
New gravel drives, crowned and ditched, or base prep for paving. Culverts sized to the drainage rather than to habit.
Demolition
Sheds, slabs, pools and old septic removed and hauled, with concrete recycled where the crusher will take it.
Selected work
640 ft, crowned with two culverts
Under a mature lawn, sod reset
Compaction tested at 95%
Two swales and a dry well
Approach
Two machines on site, not six. It costs less and it shows.
One crew, start to finish
The operator who staked your job is the one who finishes it, so nothing gets lost between visits.
Priced by the job
Fixed price on residential work once we have walked it. Hourly only if you ask for it, with the rate written down.
Left clean
Track mats on lawns, mud swept from the road, spoil hauled the same week. Neighbours should not know we were there.
Licensed & insured
Licence #EX-1180, $2M liability, workers' comp for every operator. Certificates sent with the estimate.
“They put mats down before driving on the lawn. I have never seen a contractor do that.”
“Fixed price, finished a day early, and the invoice matched the estimate to the dollar.”
“Two swales and a dry well and the back yard has been dry for three springs.”
Request an estimate
A short description is enough to start. We will call, ask two or three questions, and book a walk-through if it needs one.

We will call within a business day. If the ground is dry and the job is small, we can often be there the same week.
