Trained, Certified Crews That Dig It Right
Every Beeman Excavating crew is OSHA-certified and extensively trained to handle excavation safely and accurately. Excavation is the controlled digging and removal of earth to make way for foundations, utilities, drainage, and more. From the DeKalb area across northern Illinois, that depth of training is why developers and homeowners trust us to dig it right and dig it safe.
What It Is
Excavation is the heart of nearly every construction project. It involves removing soil and rock to precise depths and dimensions, then handling that material properly. Done correctly, it sets up everything that follows; done poorly, it creates problems that surface long after the job is finished.
Types of Excavation We Perform
- Foundation and footing excavation
- Mass and bulk excavation
- Utility and trench excavation
- Basement and crawlspace digs
- Pond, drainage, and detention excavation
Our Excavation Process

- Set Up – We establish depths, slopes, and access before the first bucket of dirt
- Excavate – Our modern equipment removes material to exact grades and dimensions
