Our Services

From bare dirt to finished grade.

Whether it's a trench for a new sewer line, a driveway that needs rebuilding, or a whole site prepped for construction, we bring the right machine and do it once, properly.

Excavation & Trenching

Utility trenches, footings, basements and repairs dug clean and to depth. We locate, dig, and backfill so the yard goes back the way we found it.

Grading & Site Preparation

Rough and finish grading that moves water away from your foundation instead of toward it. Pads, yards and building sites prepped and ready.

Drainage, Sewer & Water Lines

Sewer and water service, downspout tie-ins, drain tile and French drains. We solve the wet spot rather than just moving it somewhere else.

Three KRight Contracting projects: a deep excavation trench with a mini excavator, a boulder retaining wall with stone steps, and a newly installed gravel driveway

Real jobs, start to finish — dug, graded, and cleaned up.

Featured Project

Dug, formed, and ready to build on.

A full residential foundation excavation from open field to finished footprint: site stripped and staked, walls formed and poured, drain tile and stone placed, and the pad backfilled and graded so the builder could start framing on schedule.
