Your Home Deserves a Solid Foundation

Bad excavation work shows up years later — settling, cracking, water intrusion. We make sure that doesn't happen.

What Goes Wrong With Bad Excavation

  • Uneven foundation walls that crack within 5 years
  • Water pooling against your foundation after every rain
  • Damaged utility lines from skipping OUPS calls
  • Torn-up yards, mud everywhere, no cleanup
  • $10K+ in structural repairs down the road

What You Get With Ground

  • Excavation to exact plan specs — depth, width, grade
  • Clean vertical walls and level bottoms your contractor can trust
  • OUPS/811 utility locating on every single project
  • Yard protection — mats, tracked equipment, full cleanup
  • Experienced with Cincinnati's clay soils and bedrock

What Cincinnati Homeowners Say

"Tight access, clay soil, and a neighbor's fence about six feet from the dig — the kind of job that makes a lot of contractors nervous. These guys showed up with the right machine and nailed it. Our GC said it was one of the cleaner excavations he'd worked with."

Kevin M.

Anderson Township, OH — Basement Excavation

"We bought a wooded lot in Milford and needed it cleared and rough-graded before our builder could start. Ground walked it with us, gave us a fair quote, and had a crew out within two weeks. Our builder actually commented on how well the site was prepped."

Rachel & Tom F.

Milford, OH — Lot Clearing + Foundation

"First heavy rain came through and the yard drained completely. Finally. I'd had two other companies tell me it would just 'always be wet back there.' Ground actually looked at the grade, figured out where the water was coming from, and fixed it in a day and a half."

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before your excavation project

We use tracked equipment to minimize ground pressure, protect lawn areas with equipment mats where needed, and haul spoil out in a way that avoids spreading mud across the property.
We discuss this during quoting. Options include stockpiling on your property for future use, spreading in another area you designate, or hauling it off-site completely.
Most residential foundation excavations are completed in one to two days. Pool and pond excavations are similar. Access and soil conditions affect timing — we'll give you a realistic timeline with your quote.
Yes — on every project, every time. We contact OUPS (Ohio) or Kentucky 811 before any digging begins to locate all underground utilities. This protects your home, our crew, and the utility infrastructure.
Absolutely. We regularly work on occupied residential properties with narrow gates, existing landscaping, and close neighbors. Our operators are experienced in tight-access residential work.
