Equipped for Residential Projects Since 1993

Since 1993, our family owned corporation has worked on excavation projects ranging from smaller property improvements to major site developments. Our residential capabilities include foundations, basements, driveways, pads, leveling, utility lines, complete site developments, hydro plant and irrigation work, and garages.

Because every property is different, we approach each job according to the site conditions and the work that needs to be completed. We are fully insured and have the equipment to handle projects of many different sizes.

Whether you are preparing land for construction, improving access, developing another part of your property, or completing utility related excavation, we can discuss your project and provide an estimate based on its specific scope.

Residential Site Preparation

Site Development From the Ground Up
Site Development From the Ground Up

Good site preparation creates a strong starting point for the improvements that follow. Before construction or other development can move forward, the property may require excavation, leveling, material movement, access preparation, or other earthwork.


Our residential site development services are designed to address these needs. We work with property owners on both focused excavation jobs and more extensive projects where several types of site work may be required. 
Foundation and Basement Excavation
Foundation and Basement Excavation

A foundation starts below the structure itself. Proper excavation is an essential early stage of preparing a site for residential construction, additions, garages, and other building projects.


We provide excavation for foundations and basements based on the requirements of the project. Our range of excavators gives us flexibility when working on properties with different site conditions and project sizes, allowing us to approach both substantial excavation and more focused residential work.
Driveways, Pads, and Property Leveling
Driveways, Pads, and Property Leveling

Access and usable ground are important parts of residential property development. We provide excavation services for driveways, pads, and leveling projects that help prepare areas for their intended use.


Driveway excavation may be required when developing new access or improving an existing property. Conditions can vary considerably depending on the terrain and the amount of site preparation needed. 
Utility Line Excavation
Utility Line Excavation

Utility lines are an essential part of residential development. Installing or improving utilities may require excavation to create the necessary route across a property.


Getty Excavating, Inc. provides utility line excavation as part of our residential services. We have equipment ranging from a mini excavator to large excavators, allowing us to work on utility related excavation projects with different space and site requirements. 

Garage, Hydro Plant, and
Irrigation Work

Our residential excavation capabilities extend beyond standard foundation and driveway projects. We also provide excavation for garages, hydro plant projects, and irrigation work.

Garage projects may require site preparation, leveling, pad work, or foundation excavation depending on the planned structure and property conditions. We can provide the excavation portion of the work according to the project requirements.

Our experience with hydro plant and irrigation work is particularly valuable for properties where water plays an important role. Water related excavation is an established part of our broader capabilities, which also include water improvement, waterflow, and specialized habitat projects. This range of experience gives us the ability to discuss residential projects that may require more than conventional earthmoving.
