Excavation Services We Provide
From residential foundation work to large-scale commercial site prep — Q&R handles the full scope with one crew, one contact, and one transparent price.
Site Preparation
Full site clearing, grading, and preparation for residential and commercial construction projects. We leave your site level, compacted, and ready to build.
Septic & Utility
Septic system installation, utility trenching for water, sewer, and electrical lines. Precision excavation that protects existing infrastructure.
Land Grading
Precision land grading for proper drainage, erosion control, and site leveling. We move the right amount of material the first time — no re-work, no surprises.
Foundation Excavation
Residential and commercial foundation digs, basement excavation, and crawl space work. Tight tolerances, proper shoring, and clean backfill.
Drainage Solutions
French drains, swales, retention ponds, and stormwater management systems. We solve drainage problems permanently — not temporarily.
Demolition & Removal
Structure demolition, concrete removal, and debris hauling. We clear the site completely so construction can start without delays.
Why Salem Chooses Q&R for Excavation

We own our equipment — no rental delays, no subcontractor scheduling. The right machine shows up on day one.
