Professional Excavation Process

• Clearing and Demolition – Remove vegetation, structures, and debris from work areas
• Rough Excavation – Remove unsuitable material and dig to required depths
• Rough Grading – Establish major elevations and drainage patterns
• Compaction – Compact fill areas and building pads to specified density
• Fine Grading – Achieve precise elevations and smooth surfaces
• Final Inspection – Verify grades, drainage, and readiness for next construction phase
Fort Worth Excavation Challenges and Solutions
Excavating in Fort Worth presents unique challenges that require local knowledge and experience. Our soil conditions, weather patterns, and urban infrastructure create situations that inexperienced excavators often mishandle.
Common Fort Worth excavation challenges:
• Expansive clay soil – Becomes sticky and difficult when wet, hard as concrete when dry
• Caliche layers – Extremely hard soil/rock layers requiring special equipment
• Underground utilities – Dense utility networks in established neighborhoods
• Water table issues – Groundwater encountered in some excavations requiring dewatering
• Access limitations – Tight spaces in established neighborhoods requiring smaller equipment
• Weather impacts – Heavy rains can flood excavations or make clay unworkable
• Soil disposal – Clay soil often not suitable for reuse requiring proper disposal

A few years ago, I got a call from a contractor in Westover Hills who was in a bind. They'd hired an excavation company that promised to dig the foundation for a new home addition, but after three days of work, the excavation was off by nearly two feet in one corner and sloped the wrong direction. The concrete contractor refused to pour until the excavation was corrected, and the homeowners were understandably frustrated with the delays. When we came in to fix the problem, we discovered the original excavator hadn't taken proper measurements, didn't understand the foundation design, and had no plan for managing the clay soil they were removing.
After we re-excavated to correct specifications, properly sloped for drainage, and coordinated with the concrete crew, the project got back on track. The general contractor told me later, "I learned the hard way that excavation isn't just digging holes—it's precision work that affects everything that comes after." That's exactly right. Expert excavation is the foundation of successful construction projects.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Client Says About Us
"I dreaded replacing my driveway, but JK Concrete made it painless. They showed up on time, explained everything, and even fixed a drainage issue I didn't know about without upselling me. Eight months later, my driveway still looks perfect while my neighbor's (done by another company) is already cracking. Best decision I made."
Sarah M. - Ridglea Hills
"We needed stamped concrete that wouldn't look out of place on our 1920s home. JK Concrete nailed it - looks like genuine stone, complements the house perfectly. The crew was professional, cleaned up daily, and finished on schedule. Three neighbors have already asked for their number."
Michael T. - Fairmount
"I called about foundation cracks expecting the worst. Instead of scaring me into expensive repairs, they honestly explained what was cosmetic and what actually needed fixing. Fixed the real issue two years ago and haven't had problems since. When I needed my driveway done, I didn't even get other quotes."
