Build-Ready Site Preparation and Excavation
Serving Howard County & Surrounding Areas
Comprehensive Site Preparation Services
From raw land to a stable, build-ready pad
Loewen Excavating & Septics delivers turnkey site preparation for residential, commercial, and agricultural projects. Our process includes site walks and plan reviews, coordination of 811 utility locates, survey control establishment, and permitting support. We clear and grub vegetation, strip and segregate topsoil, balance cut and fill, condition moisture, and compact soils to geotechnical specifications before performing precise rough and fine grading to create stable, build-ready pads and access routes.
Our modern fleet of excavators, dozers, graders, compactors, and GPS-guided machine control ensures accuracy, speed, and consistent results. With certified operators, a robust safety program, and meticulous daily reporting, we minimize ground disturbance, optimize material handling (import/export of structural fill), manage rock excavation, and keep your project on schedule and within budget.
Efficient earthwork that sets the right foundation
Our team performs selective tree clearing, stump removal, brush mulching, and root raking to open up the site while protecting adjacent assets. We manage timber and green waste responsibly, preserve required buffers, safeguard existing utilities, and remove unsuitable soils and organics so your subgrade is clean, firm, and ready for construction.
We fine-tune grades to reduce haul-off, then proof-roll, moisture-condition, and compact the subgrade to meet engineered density requirements. When conditions demand, we provide lime or cement stabilization, install geotextiles, and place aggregate base to improve bearing capacity and drainage, delivering durable building pads, drive lanes, and work zones that resist settlement and weather impacts.
Keep water managed and future services accessible
Effective water management begins with shaping the site for positive drainage and designing features that move runoff safely. We build swales and berms, install correctly sized culverts, and add French drains or underdrains where needed. Around foundations, we incorporate drainage blankets, sump provisions, and protected discharge points to keep structures dry.
To prevent sediment migration, we deploy best-practice erosion and sediment controls, including silt fence, inlet protection, wattles, check dams, stabilized construction entrances, and temporary seeding or hydromulch. Our crews monitor and maintain BMPs throughout construction to keep the site compliant and protected during storms.
Loewen Excavating & Septics also prepares utility corridors for water, sewer or septic laterals, electric, gas, and communications. We trench to spec, place bedding, conduit, tracer wire, and warning tape, compact lifts for long-term stability, coordinate inspections and testing, and provide as-builts so downstream trades can connect without delays.
