Excavation & trenching in Crestview, FL

Digging for footings, pads, pipe and conduit, done with a mini excavator that fits where a big machine can’t.

Excavation & trenching

Dig it once, dig it right

Excavation covers the digging around a build: footings and pads for slabs, garages and additions, trenches for water, sewer, power and drain lines, and the dirt work that comes before a foundation goes in.

Big Cal’s digs to the depth and line you need, and the trench can be backfilled once the pipe or footing is in.

On a tight residential lot a mini excavator is the right tool. It fits between houses and trees, swings in a small footprint and leaves less of a mess on the lawn.

For bigger dirt moves it works alongside a track loader.

Call or text (448) 249-5287 and tell us about the property. Photos help.

Good to know

Before the machines show up

Call 811 first

Florida law requires a call to Sunshine 811 before digging so buried lines get marked. It’s free and it keeps everyone safe.

Bring the plans

Footing depth, pad size and pipe runs come from your plans or your contractor. Have them ready.

Tell us about access

Gate widths, fences, septic tanks and overhead lines all decide which machine shows up.

5 out of 5 stars

I had a great experience with Big Cals Clearing LLC. Communication was solid from start to finish, they showed up when they said they would, and the work was done efficiently and professionally. They were respectful of the property, worked hard, and made the whole process easy on my end. If you need clearing done and want someone reliable who gets the job done right, I’d definitely recommend them.
