Everything from clear & grub to final grade.
Solid Rock Excavating is your one crew for the heavy ground work — site prep, grading, foundations, septic, utilities, demolition, and hauling across Northern Kentucky.
Site Preparation & Land Clearing
Before anything gets built, the ground has to be ready. We clear brush and trees, strip and stockpile topsoil, remove stumps and debris, and rough-cut the site so it's level, stable, and ready for the next trade. Raw land or a tight infill lot — we set the stage.
- ✓Clearing & grubbing
- ✓Topsoil strip & stockpile
- ✓Stump & debris removal
- ✓Building pad cut
Grading & Drainage
Water is the enemy of every build. We rough and finish grade to spec, shape slopes and swales, and make sure the lot drains away from the structure. Driveways, yards, pads, and parking — graded so it sheds water and holds up.
- ✓Rough & finish grading
- ✓Slopes, swales & drainage
- ✓Driveway & pad prep
- ✓Erosion control
Foundation & Basement Excavation
Dig it once, dig it right. We excavate for new homes, additions, garages, and outbuildings — on grade, to the dimensions your plans call for, and clean enough to pour. Spoils hauled off or stockpiled for backfill, your call.
- ✓Footer & foundation digs
- ✓Full basement excavation
- ✓Garage & addition digs
- ✓Backfill & compaction
Septic System Installation
Septic work is unforgiving — it has to be done to code and sited correctly. We handle the excavation and site work for residential septic systems, tanks, and leach fields, coordinating with your installer and the health department's requirements.
- ✓Tank excavation & set
- ✓Leach field site work
- ✓Line trenching
- ✓Final grade & cover
Utility & Drainage Lines
Water, sewer, storm, and drainage — trenched to depth, bedded, and backfilled the right way. We install culverts, French drains, and downspout lines, and we trench utility runs for new construction and repairs.
- ✓Water & sewer trenching
- ✓Storm & culvert install
- ✓French drains
- ✓Downspout & yard drains
Demolition & Site Cleanup
Need it gone? We handle light structure demolition — sheds, garages, pools, and small buildings — plus full debris haul-off and site cleanup so you're left with a clean, workable lot.
- ✓Light structure demo
- ✓Concrete & slab removal
- ✓Debris haul-off
- ✓Full site cleanup
