What size excavator do you operate?

We run a compact-class excavator suited for residential trenching, footers, drainage, and tight-access digging across Hendricks County and Central Indiana.

Will your excavator fit through my gate?

Yes — our machine fits through most standard 60-inch backyard gates and works well in confined spaces.

How much does excavator work cost?

Most small excavator jobs run $500–$2,000 depending on scope. Larger trenching and drainage jobs are quoted per project.

Do you call in utility locates?

Yes — Indiana 811 utility locates are placed before any digging on every job.

Can you trench for a French drain in my backyard?

Absolutely. Backyard French drain trenching is one of our most common excavator jobs.
