Dirt Done Right

The Work That Decides How Long Everything Else Lasts

Every concrete slab, every barn, every foundation — it all rides on what happens under it. That's excavation. At Corbett's Contracting, we treat excavation like the make-or-break step it actually is, because we know what cutting corners here costs you three years down the road.

We run excavation across Wilmington and Southwest Ohio for our own concrete jobs and for folks who just need the dirt work handled. Grading, land clearing, site prep, foundation digs, trenching — we've got the equipment and the operators who know what they're doing.

If you need a contractor who can get a site ready to build on without the usual delays, overages, and callbacks — you're in the right place.

What We Do

Full-Service Excavation

From one-day driveway prep to multi-week site development — here's what we handle.

01

Site Preparation

Clearing, stripping topsoil, rough grading, and prepping a site to exact elevation specs — the groundwork every build needs.

02

Land Clearing

Tree removal, brush clearing, stump grinding, and making raw land usable. Residential lots and acreage.

03

Foundation Prep

Precise excavation for home foundations, outbuildings, pole barns, and additions. Footings dug to spec.

04

Grading & Leveling

Final grade work for drainage, landscaping, driveways, and lawns. We cut high spots and fill low ones.

05

Driveway Excavation

Digging out existing driveways, cutting new paths, and prepping sub-base for concrete or gravel installation.

06

Trenching & Utility

Utility trenches for water, electrical, and drainage lines. Clean, straight cuts backfilled to spec.

FAQ

Excavation Questions

Do I need permits for excavation work in Ohio?
Depends on the scope and the local jurisdiction. For major work like foundation digs, large grading changes, or utility trenching, permits are usually required. We'll let you know what's needed before the equipment shows up — and in most cases we can help coordinate with your township or county.
Can you excavate in winter?
Yes — weather permitting. Frozen ground slows us down and hard frost makes certain jobs impractical, but we work year-round in Southwest Ohio when conditions allow. If it can't be done right, we'll reschedule instead of forcing it.
What do you do with the dirt you dig up?
Depends on what you want. We can haul it off, stockpile it on-site, spread it for grading, or use it to fill low spots elsewhere on the property. We'll discuss the plan at the estimate and factor hauling into the quote if needed.
How long does excavation take?
A driveway or patio sub-base is usually one day. Foundation prep for a house or pole barn runs 2-5 days. Larger site development varies. You'll have a real timeline in the written quote — not a guess.
Do you handle concrete and excavation on the same project?
Yes — in fact, that's what we're built for. When we handle excavation and concrete together, we control the whole foundation and the whole finish, which is why our slabs hold up better than the competition's.
