Site Prep That Sets Builders Up for Success
Building a custom home starts well before the concrete pours. The quality of your site preparation directly impacts construction timelines, long-term structural integrity, and future maintenance costs.
We partner with custom builders to ensure your projects start on solid ground – with precise excavation, proper drainage, and detailed preparation that makes everything that follows easier.
How We Support Custom Builders
We work with your schedule, follow your plans exactly, and solve site problems before they slow down your build. Our excavation work gives you the solid start your custom homes deserve.
Basement Excavation
We dig clean, accurate basement excavations that match the plans and set the stage for a solid foundation. Every cut is deliberate, every corner square. We manage depth, layout, and soil conditions to make sure the site’s ready for formwork and footers—no rework, no surprises.
Crawlspace Preparation
Our crawlspace excavation is shaped by the drawings and driven by code. We deliver clean lines, proper access, and elevations that support structural work without rework or delay.
Utility Trenching
Trenching for utilities demands more than just a bucket and a machine. We follow the layout, maintain proper depth and separation, and deliver clean lines for water, sewer, and electric—ready for inspection and installation.
Rough Grade
We handle rough grading to shape the land and set the groundwork for everything that follows. This stage defines drainage flow, sets building pads, and prepares the site for driveways, patios, and final grade work. Whether you’re building new or reshaping existing terrain, we move material with purpose—getting elevations close and compaction dialed in.
Final Grading
Final grading is where attention to detail makes the difference. We finish every site with clean contours, smooth transitions, and consistent topsoil coverage—setting the stage for a clean lawn install and long-term success. If it’s not right, we don’t walk away.
Tony is an absolute master when it comes to excavation work. He recently ground up a few potholes in my driveway and redressed completely using existing stone. Turned out perfect as you can see from picture. Tony is a professional and has always given me an upfront honest opinion. I highly recommend him and Excavation Point!
I reached out to Tony for help with a job I had received two quotes for already. Not only was his price the most reasonable, he knew exactly what the issue was while the other contractors that quoted were unsure of how to help me. He was quick to start the work and get things wrapped up the same day. I highly recommend working with this company, he did a fantastic job!
Tony was great to work with. He’s experienced, efficient, and professional. He showed up on time, worked until the job was done, and cleaned up his mess before he left. I couldn’t be happier with the results and will be calling him again for the next job. I would recommend Excavation Point to anyone needing residential or commercial excavation work done. Five stars!
Tony Wells. Where do I start in describing this guy...Great communicator, responds quickly, smart, personable and goes out of his way to help you. Things that make up a great contractor and person to work with.Before I even paid him a cent, he went to bat for me in helping me think through and deal with a drainage issue at my property, and did so without complaining or grumbling.Speaks to the type of person and business he runs.I would recommend using this company for any grading and drainage work. He will not steer you wrong as a contractor or person.- RA
After a county road construction project left the front yard of our home completely destroyed, we were devastated. We looked into several contractors to restore the absolute disaster left behind by the county. After doing some extensive research on contractors in the area, we decided to hire Tony from Excavation Point. Not only was Tony extremely skilled, but he also takes pride in his work. The area that was damaged has now been restored and looks beautiful. The process couldn’t have went better. Tony was easy to reach by phone and was on time, if not early to the job. As a family, we couldn’t be happier with the way our yard turned out. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a true professional to get the job done.
I don’t typically leave reviews, but when you have service that is above and beyond any of your expectations, it’s worth my time!From the moment I contacted Tony, to the very end of the project, he was professional and put his whole heart and soul into doing the best job he possibly could. The project kept growing all along the way because the results were so amazing. You will NOT find a better contractor, I just don’t think it’s possible! Honest, upfront, attention to the smallest detail, perfectionist, he’s all that and more! If you have some excavation work that needs done, concrete work, or just ideas and action to beautify your surroundings, Tony is your guy!
Excavation point is a wonderful company. They were grading the lot next to us while I was playing with my kids in the back yard. The owner Tony walked over to introduce himself and apologize for the dust they kicked up. (Summer 2024 was exceedingly dry so there was no avoiding a dust storm). He was personal, kind, and passionate about his craft. He even offered to help clean my truck the dust was so bad. A gesture I've never seen from any other contractor.I had been meaning to fix a grading issue going down into a ponding elevation on my side yard going into the woods. One thing lead to another and we agreed to have him fix it for us. I could already see the quality of his work from the project next door. That combined with his customer service and it was an easy choice.They were quick, precise, and didn't mind me making changes mid-project. On top of that, Tony was always easy to get a hold of. Not always the case with other contractors. If you need a quality excavation company you can trust these guys should be at the top of your list.
What an amazing experience! Tony came to our home in Powell several times. He listened intently and then brought our driveway project to life. Tony and the team were super professional, detailed oriented, passionate, trustworthy, and extremely thorough. They dug out our 25 year old 2,400 sq. ft. asphault driveway and poured a beautiful new concrete masterpiece, with a perfectly graded perimeter. I would highly recommend Tony and Excavation Point for any driveway, grading, stone work, or excavating project.
Veteran owned. What more could you want? Tony is an awesome guy, He did an amazing job on our driveway. He did a great job flattening out our driveway, now it looks great. I highly recommend him!
We hired Tony to help with a solar farm site preparation project.

Met Tony under stressful circumstances. Not only did he do excellent work, he was very fair. Would hire without hesitation. Also, thank you for your service to our country Tony!
Tony and his team did a great job! Timely, professional, and a great result! Our project went smoothly and turned out better than we could have imagined !
Had the awesome pleasure of having Tony dig the foundation to our home. Tony met me on site ahead of our dig. It was then that he told me, "I'm not worried about how long it takes, it's more important that you're pleased with my work and it's done right." It was a genuine statement. And to his word, Tony is awesome to work with and absolutely meticulous with his work. He worked GREAT with the foundation crew! The communication was excellent and the dig went wonderfully. I'd gladly recommend him to anyone and will definitely call him again. Thank you for your sacrifice and service to our country and commitment to excellence in the excavation of my home's foundation!
I could not more highly recommend Tony and his company. He has 1st rate equipment, possesses excellent communication skills, is patient, attentive to detail and is always thinking multiple steps ahead. He can problem solve on the fly and is very efficient in his work. His pricing is very fair for the value delivered. An extremely diligent and focused individual. A very satisfied customer - Mike Studer.
Working toward building a barn and contacted Excavation Point to see if they’d be interested in building my barn pad. Tony was quick and thorough with his response, visited the building site to assess and provided a formal quote in a very timely manner. He has been excellent and very responsive with communications and I’m looking forward to moving forward with them on this and potentially some other projects!
