Hello…
From the first call to the final cleanup, here’s a peek at what a project with us looks like:
You’ve got the property, a plan for a dream (or a problem), and now it’s time to bring in someone who can move the needle — or the dirt. But let’s be real- finding a reliable contractor isn’t always easy! That’s why choosing a highly experienced earthwork contractor near Kansas City matters.
📬 How We Communicate: Start-to-Finish Clarity
When a potential client reaches out, we aim to quickly assess. We ask the right questions to understand what you’re needing — and most importantly — whether we’re the right fit.
If we’re not, we’ll send you on to greener pastures so you’re not stuck waiting on us. If it seems like a good mutual fit, we’re off to the races and setting a consultation.
We use our customized project management software to track your project from idea to completion. Once you’re in our system, you’ll have a clean record of communication, quotes, and project details — not lost in text messages or manila folders. You’ll love this part of working with us.
🚜 Beyond Equipment: Professional Excavation Done Right
Our work starts long before the equipment rolls in. We think through site access, how the job will impact your routine and others nearby, delivery locations, safety, and staging. We watch the weather. We schedule materials. We call in public utility locates and remind you to think about private ones.
We even flag things we saw at the consultation that could throw your job sideways. We don’t wing it. We plan it- in our system- down to the checklist.
When we show up, we’re ready. Professional. Respectful of your timeline and your property. Don’t take our word for it — check our reviews.
📡 Updates That Keep You in the Loop
We don’t disappear mid-job. I hate that this even has to be said, but here we are.
We don’t ghost clients. If the weather shifts your timeline, or something changes on our end, you’ll know. We communicate early and often.
🏁 Why Site Prep Matters
As a sitework contractor, we’re usually the first trade on the ground. That means we set the pace and tone for everything that follows. If we’re sloppy or unprepared, it ripples through the whole job.
We know how meaningful those early stages are — we’re not just there to dig. If it’s a milestone for you, we’ll offer to snap a photo of that first scoop. It might be a Tuesday to us, but for you, it’s often the start of something big. We get that.
💻 Technology Isn’t a Gimmick — It’s Our Standard
We’ve invested in field and office tech because it gets better results for you.
Every job is shaped with precision — laser-guided grading, thoughtful fills, tight swales. Whether we’re building a pad on grade or chasing water issues, precision is our norm.
In the office, we run on organized chaos. Systems and processes humming behind the scenes, spreadsheets everywhere, endless @team messages flying.
But I’ll never forget the Apple II computer my sister Cali and I played on in the office of our family business. The scream of the dot matrix printer, the smell of paper getting torched by that heat… and making accordions with the side-tabs. Those were the days.
We’ve come a long way since those days — and now we hate printing.
Our team stays connected with a company-wide radio system. It’s like walkie-talkies on steroids. No matter where our crew is, if there’s cell reception, they’re in touch with the office. It’s saved countless would-have-been-wasted days from material mixups.
Some of the best clients we work with still prefer to wet sign estimates and prefer a call. If that’s you, no problem — we’ll meet you where you are and get the job done just the same. Please just don’t ask us to fax. We’d need heavy equipment to move the amount of dust that would be involved 🙂
💵 How Much Will It Cost?
We keep pricing simple and honest. Sometimes, it costs us the job. But we’d rather give a realistic number up front than bury you in change orders later. Please keep this in mind when comparing pricing. Is this a wide thought or the first step? We can price the first step too.
We wish we could give widget-style pricing — but no two jobs are the same. That said, we’re happy to pull historical data to help you understand what’s common.
To set expectations: jobs involving heavy equipment typically start at $4,000.
⚠️ Safety Isn’t Optional
Our crew moves big equipment across unpredictable ground in unpredictable weather. We’re often coordinating with other trades, deliveries, or homeowners.
That’s why safety is part of our daily routine. From clean job sites to smart access plans and clear communication when visitors are on site — we take it seriously.
Builders, developers, and homeowners trust us because they know we treat each project with care.
📄 Before the First Scoop of Dirt
Every estimate includes our detailed Terms & Conditions — not some $1997 boilerplate we bought from a construction lawyer trying to sell 10,000 copies.
We poured hours into this thing.
It outlines who does what, avoids confusion, and sets the tone for a solid, successful project. It’s the product of our years in the field, not someone else’s template.
Our W9 and Certificate of Insurance are attached to every estimate too — because we believe in transparency and value your time.
If you value structure, transparency, and a contractor who’s already thought ten steps ahead — we’re going to work well together.
🏁 Let’s Build Something Together
Nope, we’re not the cheapest (usually). But if you want it done right — with honesty, grit, and heart — we might be the excavation contractor in Lee’s Summit you’ve been looking for.
If everything you’ve read so far sounds like the kind of working relationship you want, let’s talk. We’d love to hear about your project, answer questions, or even just point you in the right direction.
PS
As a company, we like to underpromise and overdeliver. But every year, there’s that time where the phone’s ringing nonstop, the equipment’s rolling — and then it needs a track, a filter, and a part every three days. Feast or famine. The small business juggle is real. If you catch us in the chaos, we ask for a little grace.
