Agricultural Excavation Highland, Illinois

If you are a farmer, Diekemper Excavating LLC can help. We can dig a trench for a drainage ditch or prep the site for a bunker silo.

Bunker Silos:

Concrete-walled bunkers store silage at lower cost and feed out quickly.

Manure Pits:

Earthen basins and concrete pits excavated to protect your groundwater.

Tile Drainage:

Tile pulls excess water from the root zone so fields dry out sooner and roots grow deeper.

Pools, Storm Shelters, & Underground Electric in Highland

Planning an in-ground pool? We dig to your pool installer’s layout and depth, then backfill once it’s set. We excavate for below-ground and partially buried storm shelters and grade, so water drains away from the door. Running power to a new shop or detached garage? We trench to your electrician’s depth and call J.U.L.I.E. for locates before every dig. For homes on Silver Lake or a private pond, we also install riprap to protect the bank.
