Septic Systems & Sewer Laterals
True Grade Excavating will ensure that your new septic system will function properly and be installed correctly.
Septic tanks are underground structures that are used to treat and dispose of wastewater from homes and buildings that are not connected to a public sewer system. These tanks are typically made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic and are designed to hold and separate solid waste from the liquid waste. Septic laterals, also known as drain fields or leach fields, are an essential component of a septic system. They are responsible for distributing the treated wastewater from the septic tank into the surrounding soil. The septic laterals consist of a series of perforated pipes or chambers buried in trenches filled with gravel or other aggregate material. The wastewater from the septic tank flows into the septic laterals, where it is further treated and filtered as it percolates through the soil. The soil acts as a natural filter, removing harmful bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants from the wastewater before it reaches the groundwater. Regular maintenance and inspection of septic tanks and septic laterals are crucial to ensure their proper functioning and prevent any potential issues or failures in the system.
Foundations and Basements
True Grade Excavating has the expertise and experience to dig out your foundation to ensure that your new building is up to codes
Excavating a residential foundation or basement involves several steps. First, the area where the foundation or basement will be located is marked and surveyed to ensure proper alignment and dimensions. Then, heavy machinery such as excavators and bulldozers are used to remove the topsoil and dig a hole for the foundation. The depth of the excavation depends on the specific requirements of the building and local building codes. Once the excavation is complete, the soil is tested for stability and compaction. If necessary, additional measures such as soil stabilization or compaction may be taken. Finally, the foundation walls are constructed, and the basement floor is poured. It's important to note that excavation work should always be done by professionals to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Roads and Driveways
We have the equipment to clear land, level your road as well as haul stone and gravel to ensure a smooth and proper driveway or road.
Excavating a new driveway or repairing a road can be quite an interesting process. When it comes to excavating a new driveway, the first step usually involves clearing the area of any vegetation or obstacles. Then, heavy machinery like excavators or bulldozers is used to dig out the soil and create a level surface. The depth of the excavation depends on the specific requirements of the driveway. Once the excavation is complete, a layer of gravel or crushed stone is often added to provide a stable base. This helps to prevent the driveway from sinking or shifting over time. On the other hand, when it comes to repairing a road, the process can vary depending on the extent of the damage. It typically involves removing the damaged section of the road, preparing the underlying layers, and then applying new asphalt or concrete to restore the surface. This process requires skilled workers and specialized equipment to ensure a smooth and durable repair.
Retaining Walls
True Grade Excavating has installed many retaining walls for our customers
Excavating and installing retaining walls is a crucial process in construction and landscaping. When it comes to excavating, it involves removing soil and other materials to create a space for the retaining wall. This can be done using heavy machinery like excavators or backhoes. The depth and width of the excavation will depend on the specific requirements of the project and the type of retaining wall being installed. Once the excavation is complete, the next step is to install the retaining wall. This typically involves placing the wall materials, such as concrete blocks or timber, in the excavated area and securing them together using mortar or other bonding agents. The wall is then backfilled with soil or gravel to provide additional support and stability. It's important to ensure proper drainage and compaction during the installation process to prevent any potential issues in the future.
Hauling Services
True Grade can provide any hauling services you may need from debris removal to hauling stone and gravel or dirt
Hauling services offered by excavators are an essential part of construction and excavation projects. These services involve the transportation of heavy materials, such as soil, rocks, and debris, from one location to another. Excavators are equipped with specialized machinery, such as dump trucks or trailers, to efficiently load and transport these materials. Hauling services provided by excavators ensure the smooth and timely completion of construction projects by effectively managing the movement of materials. Additionally, excavators often have the necessary permits and licenses to transport materials safely and legally.
Ponds
We can build ponds and water runoffs for your property
When it comes to building a pond, an excavator plays a crucial role in the process. First, the excavator is used to clear the area where the pond will be located. It removes any vegetation, rocks, or debris that may hinder the construction. Next, the excavator digs out the desired shape and depth of the pond, carefully following the design plans. It also helps in creating the slopes and shelves within the pond to ensure proper water circulation and depth variation. The excavator then assists in leveling the bottom of the pond and removing any excess soil. Additionally, it may be used to create a berm or embankment around the pond to prevent water from flowing out. Overall, the excavator is an essential tool in the construction of a pond, providing precision and efficiency throughout the process.
Shed Pads, Clearing, Leveling or Moving Ground, Yards
Whatever land moving service you need, True Grade Excavating can help
Excavation is the process of removing earth or rock from a site to create a level surface or to dig trenches for various purposes. When it comes to clearing land, excavation is often used to remove trees, vegetation, and other obstacles in order to prepare the area for construction or landscaping. Excavation can also be done to create a yard, where the soil is leveled and prepared for planting grass or other landscaping features. Additionally, excavation is commonly used to create shed pads, which are flat areas of land where sheds or other structures can be built. The process typically involves the use of heavy machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and backhoes to efficiently remove and relocate the soil or rock.
Snow Plowing
When you live in the northeast, you need to be able to get your snow plowed. True Grade Excavating offers these services in the winter months.
Snow plowing services are essential during the winter season, especially in areas that experience heavy snowfall. These services involve the use of specialized vehicles equipped with plows to clear snow from roads, driveways, parking lots, and other areas. We offer both residential and commercial services, ensuring that both individuals and businesses can safely navigate through snow-covered areas. Snow plowing professionals are trained to efficiently and effectively remove snow, minimizing disruptions caused by winter weather.
