Expert Excavation Services for Every Ground Condition

Serving Howard County & Surrounding Areas

Full-Service Excavation for Residential and Commercial Projects

Experienced operators, modern equipment, dependable results

Loewen Excavating & Septics delivers comprehensive excavation solutions for new builds, additions, utilities, drainage improvements, and site redevelopment. From initial land clearing and topsoil stripping to precise foundation digs and mass earthmoving, our experienced operators handle the full scope while protecting nearby structures, utilities, and sensitive areas.

Our fleet includes excavators, dozers, skid steers, compactors, and laser/GPS guidance to move earth efficiently and achieve accurate grades the first time. We manage haul-off and import, trenches for water and sewer laterals, driveway and road subgrades, and footing excavation with clean, straight cuts that set the stage for on-time construction.

From rough cut to final grade with tight tolerances

We deliver smooth, stable pads and subgrades to spec, hitting tight tolerances and compaction targets to prevent settlement and drainage problems. Our team handles root mat stripping, proof-rolling, undercutting soft zones, importing structural fill, and fine grading with laser or GPS control for consistent slopes and proper water shedding.

Trenching services include utility corridors, drainage lines, and conduit runs with correct bedding, cover, and separation. We implement shoring or benching where required, install tracer wire and warning tape, compact in controlled lifts, and coordinate any required testing and as-built documentation to ensure long-term reliability.

Transparent planning, risk management, and clean job sites

Every project starts with a detailed consultation and site walk to confirm access, soil conditions, and utility locations. We coordinate 811 locates, review plans, verify benchmarks, establish haul routes, and set a sequencing plan that minimizes disruption. Clear proposals, cost codes, and schedules help prevent change orders and keep stakeholders informed from mobilization to closeout.

Safety is built into every task. A competent person oversees excavations, daily inspections document changing conditions, and equipment is maintained for peak performance. We follow trench safety, sloping, benching, and shielding best practices, control groundwater with pumps or well points as needed, and maintain erosion and dust controls to protect neighbors and the environment.

Quality control includes continuous grade checks with lasers/GPS, density verification where specified, and photo-documented progress. We maintain neat stockpiles, segregate topsoil for reuse, and leave the site broom-clean and ready for the next trade. Final walk-throughs confirm scope completion and workmanship that meets or exceeds project specifications.
