Topsoil the few inches of ground, which includes vegetation and organic matter. Because it is soft and compresses under weight, you can’t build on it. Our crew strips it and stockpiles it so it can be spread back for final grading. After digging out your topsoil, we can reach soil that is drier and more capable of handling a building. If you want to build, pave, or alter your landscape, then removing your topsoil is a must.
The next layer, between topsoil and rock, is the earth. Sometimes, for foundations and drainage ditches, we have to remove the earth layer.
Rock and boulders are heavier and harder to move than soil. Our crew breaks out and removes rock with heavy excavators so your site is ready to build.
Muck is soil with a high water content. Since every foundation needs to be strong and durable, having a loose consistency like muck is never ideal. We remove the muck from your site.
A trench is much longer than it is wide but can still go more than 20 feet in depth. Our experienced contractors can dig trenches to help you put in your utility lines and pipes, run underground electric, or access a line to make a repair. We call J.U.L.I.E. for utility locates before every dig.
Diekemper Excavating LLC provides excavation services for basements. We can dig for partial or completely below-ground-level basements. Keep in mind that excavation costs generally increase as the required basement depth increases, along with any other grading needed to help keep water away from the foundation.
We dig in-ground pools to your pool installer’s layout and excavate for below-ground and partially buried storm shelters, then backfill and grade around them.
Dredging scoops out muck and silt from ponds, and lakes. It restores a pond’s depth and holding capacity, improves water quality for livestock and fish, and is often paired with shoreline stabilization.
Grassed waterways, terraces, drainage tile repair, culvert installation, and gully and washout repair. We build NRCS and EQIP cost-share practices.
