Excavation
What Excavation Involves
Excavation is the digging and earthmoving work that has to happen before a foundation is poured, a utility line goes in, or a site is ready to build on. The process starts with a site assessment to identify utility lines, soil type, and drainage before any digging starts — North Texas’s blackland clay soil in particular changes how a trench holds up and how quickly it needs to be backfilled.
2 Sons Grnd Wrx runs Cat and Komatsu excavators for trenching, foundation digging, and bulk earthmoving, with trenchers for narrower utility and drainage lines and skid steers for finish grading. Foundation and footing excavation is dug to depth and width per the plans, with spoil piles staged so backfill material is ready once the concrete or utility work is done.
Trenching for water, sewer, electrical, or drainage lines is dug to the required depth and slope, and larger dirt work jobs — cutting a building pad, moving material across a site, correcting a grade — are handled with the same fleet. The crew manages material on-site, so nothing has to be trucked in or out unless the job calls for it.

Our process
How a Excavation Job Works
Site Assessment & Utility Check
We walk the site, confirm what’s being dug — a trench, a foundation, a full building pad — and check soil conditions and utility lines before any equipment moves. North Texas clay soil and buried utilities both change how a job has to be dug.
Equipment Mobilization
We bring in the right machine for the job — Cat or Komatsu excavators for foundation and bulk digging, trenchers for narrower utility lines, skid steers for finish work — and stage spoil piles where they won’t be in the way of the next phase.
Excavation & Trenching
Our crew digs to the depth, width, and slope your project calls for, whether that’s a foundation footing, a utility trench, or a full pad cut, keeping spoil material organized for backfill.
Backfill & Grading
Once the foundation, utility line, or dirt work is complete, we backfill and grade the disturbed area so the site is level and ready for the next trade — concrete, framing, or landscaping — instead of an open trench or an uneven pad.

FAQ
Excavation FAQs
What excavation services do you offer?
We handle trenching and utility excavation, foundation and footing excavation, and general dirt work and earthmoving for both residential and commercial projects. Whether it’s a small trench or a full foundation dig, we bring the right machine for the job.
How much does excavation cost in the Rockwall and DFW area?
Pricing depends on the scope, depth, soil conditions, and whether material has to be hauled in or out. We assess the site first and give you a free estimate.
Do I need to call 811 before excavation starts?
In Texas, buried utilities should be located through 811 before digging. Checking utility lines is part of our site assessment before any equipment moves.
How does clay soil affect excavation and trenching in North Texas?
Blackland clay swells when wet and shrinks as it dries, which affects how trench walls hold up and how quickly a trench needs to be backfilled. We plan the dig and backfill around those conditions.
Do you handle backfill and grading after excavation?
Yes. Spoil is staged for backfill, and the disturbed area is backfilled and graded so the site is ready for the next trade.
What’s the difference between excavation and land grading?
Excavation digs down — trenches, footings, and pad cuts. Grading shapes the surface so it’s level where it needs to be and slopes to drain. Most building sites need both, and our crew does both.
Do you excavate for residential and commercial projects?
Both — from a single utility trench at a home to bulk dirt work on a commercial site.
