Why it matters

Excavation is at the heart of what we do. Whether you need a basement dug for a new home, a foundation prepared for an addition, a pond excavated on your acreage, or a pool installed in your backyard, Ground Co. delivers precise, efficient excavation throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

Our fleet of excavators and skilled operators can handle projects ranging from small residential digs to large-scale commercial earthwork. We work closely with builders, contractors, and homeowners to ensure every excavation meets exact plan specifications — depth, width, and grade.

Before any digging begins, we contact Ohio Utilities Protection Service (OUPS) and Kentucky 811 as appropriate to locate and mark all underground utilities. Safety is never an afterthought on our job sites.
