When the job starts below grade, it starts with KLEAN.

Site preparation, grading, trenching, foundation work, drainage, and land clearing, from a crew that’s been moving dirt in the south metro for 15 years.

What we do
Twin Cities excavation done right the first time.

Every landscaping, drainage, or construction project starts with what’s happening underground. Our excavation crew handles everything from initial site prep and rough grading to trenching for utilities, digging foundations, and installing drainage systems. We show up with our own fleet — CAT excavators, skid steers, track loaders, and GPS-guided grading equipment — so there’s no waiting on rental deliveries or inexperienced operators.

We’ve been doing this across the south metro — Shakopee, Prior Lake, Savage, Jordan, Belle Plaine — for over fifteen years. We know the soil conditions, the local permitting process, and how to keep a job on schedule even when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Whether you need a full basement dig or a simple grading pass, we handle it cleanly and on time.

Services offered
What we handle.
01
Site preparation

Clearing, stripping, and rough grading to get the site ready for construction. We handle tree removal, brush clearing, and topsoil stripping so the subgrade is clean and stable.

02
Land grading & final grade

Precision grading with laser-guided equipment for proper drainage pitch, level building pads, and smooth finished surfaces. We grade to engineer specs or work from our own plans.

03
Utility trenching

Clean, straight trenches for water, sewer, electric, gas, and communication lines. We dig to code depth, bed the trench properly, and backfill with the right material.

04
Foundation excavation

Full basement digs, slab prep, and crawl-space excavation. We cut to grade, manage water if it shows up, and keep the hole stable until the pour crew is ready.

05
Drainage solutions

French drains, curtain drains, swales, catch basins, and storm-water management. We diagnose the water problem first, then build the fix so it actually works long-term.

06
Land clearing

Removing trees, stumps, brush, and debris to open up a buildable or usable lot. We grind stumps below grade, haul off material, and leave the site clean.

07
Demolition & haul-off

Tearing out old concrete, asphalt, retaining walls, and structures. We demo it, load it, and haul it to the right facility — no dumpster rental needed.

How it works
Straightforward, and in that order.
01
Walk the site

We look at access, soil, slope, and any existing utilities before quoting anything.

02
Scope & quote

You get a written scope and a fixed price. No hourly surprises, no change-order games.

03
Locates & permits

We call in utility locates and pull any permits the job requires before equipment rolls.

04
Dig the work

Our crew shows up on the scheduled day with the right iron and gets it done.

05
Final grade & walk

We grade the site to spec, clean up, and walk the finished job with you before we leave.

Gear on the truck
A modern fleet, not a rental truck.

We own our equipment — no rental delays, no unfamiliar machines. Every piece is maintained in-house and operated by our crew. That means we show up ready, and the work starts on time.

Yes. We have experience trenching for water lines, sewer systems, electrical conduits, fiber optic cables, and gas lines. We locate, mark, and hand-dig where needed to avoid damaging existing infrastructure, then backfill and restore the site when work is complete.

Yes. We install French drains, catch basins, swales, and other drainage systems to move water away from structures. Our drainage solutions account for Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles, spring runoff, and summer storms.

Yes. We dig and prep foundation sites for new homes, additions, garages, and commercial buildings. We coordinate with builders and concrete contractors to meet specs and keep projects on schedule.
