Clear the Path for What You're Building

Professional excavation services built for residential projects throughout Florida

You need ground moved before anything else can begin. In New Smyrna Beach and surrounding areas, where drainage-sensitive soil can complicate even straightforward builds, excavation must be done with attention to runoff patterns and underground utility zones. Precision Excavation & Concrete handles excavation for new construction, drainage improvements, culvert installs, and site development projects across residential lots of all sizes.


The work includes digging to depth, removing soil, placing culverts where stormwater needs management, and shaping the site so the next phase can start without delay. Equipment is selected based on lot size and access, whether you have a tight residential corner or a larger open property. Culvert installs are designed to channel water away from driveways and access points, which protects your investment from washout and erosion over time.

What Happens During and After the Dig

You will see equipment arrive, the work zone marked, and excavation begin according to the depth and layout your project requires. In New Smyrna Beach and surrounding areas, attention goes to managing the displaced soil and working around existing drainage features that affect how water moves across your property. The process includes clearing vegetation, digging the trench or foundation area, and confirming grades before any material or structure goes in.


After excavation is complete, the site is graded to direct water away from structures and access points. Culverts are positioned and backfilled to maintain their alignment under load. You will notice the ground is level where it needs to be and sloped where drainage must flow, which reduces standing water and erosion risk during Florida's heavy rain months.


Excavation does not include concrete placement, final grading for landscaping, or utility line installation unless specified in your project scope. The result is a prepared site ready for the next contractor or phase, with drainage managed and elevation set to support long-term stability.

We know site prep brings up practical concerns

Homeowners often want to understand timing, equipment impact, and how excavation affects the rest of their project before scheduling the work.

What types of projects require excavation services?
You need excavation for new home foundations, driveway access, drainage trenches, culvert installation, and site prep before concrete or construction begins. It is also used to correct erosion issues or create level building pads.
How long does residential excavation typically take?

Most residential excavation projects in New Smyrna Beach and surrounding areas are completed in one to three days depending on site size, soil conditions, and the scope of grading or culvert work. Weather and access can extend timing slightly.

What equipment is used for excavation on tight lots?
Compact excavators and skid steers are used on smaller residential properties where space is limited. Larger equipment is brought in for open sites or projects requiring deeper digging and faster material removal.
Why is culvert installation important in this area?

Culverts manage stormwater flow across driveways and access points, which prevents washout and erosion during heavy rain. In New Smyrna Beach and surrounding areas, where drainage-sensitive soil is common, culverts protect your investment and maintain safe vehicle access year-round.

What should I do before excavation begins?
You should confirm utility line locations are marked and clear the work area of obstacles like vehicles, outdoor furniture, or plants you want to protect. Access to the site should be open for equipment delivery.
