Before you reach out

Frequently asked questions.

Fast. As a family owned local business, your message comes straight to us, not a call center. Most homeowners hear back within 24 hours, and often sooner. Call or text 440.669.3043 if you need us right away.

Absolutely. We do a lot of small job excavating across Geauga, Cuyahoga, and Lake Counties. No matter the size, your job is our priority.

Yes. Every estimate is free and no obligation. We can quote from a quick site visit, or from clear photos and videos of your project so you can get started without waiting for a visit.

We’re based in Chesterland and serve homeowners and small businesses throughout Geauga, Cuyahoga, Lake, Summit, and Portage Counties, including Chagrin Falls, Pepper Pike, Gates Mills, Hudson, Solon, Shaker Heights, Cuyahoga Falls, and the Cleveland and Akron area. Not on the list? Ask us about your town.

It depends on your city or township. In Ohio, freestanding accessory structures of 200 square feet or less are generally exempt from frost depth footings and can sit on a gravel pad, while larger sheds, garages, and anything with electrical usually need a permit. Rules vary from one town to the next, so we help you confirm local requirements before we break ground.

For most sheds and outbuildings with a wood floor, a compacted #57 limestone gravel pad drains well, resists settling, and costs less. For garages, heavier structures, or anything storing vehicles and equipment, a poured concrete slab gives you the strength and longevity you want. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll recommend the right base.

Yes, when it’s built right. Ohio’s frost depth is about 32 inches, and our region’s freeze thaw cycles are hard on any base that isn’t prepared properly. We excavate, compact, and set proper drainage so water moves away from your structure instead of heaving it over the winter.

Yes. Poor drainage is one of the most common problems we solve. Depending on your property we install French drains, channel drains, and downspout lines, and regrade low spots so water flows away from your home, foundation, and outbuildings.

Still have a question? Call or text 440.669.3043 — we’re happy to help.
