Professional Excavation Services in Reno
Every construction project in Reno starts with the ground beneath your feet. The right excavation work sets the stage for everything that follows, whether you’re building a new home, laying utilities, or preparing a commercial site. At Palomino Valley Construction, we don’t just move dirt. We shape the foundation for your project’s success, using experience earned across Reno’s unpredictable terrain.
How We Prepare Sites for Reliable Results
Before any equipment rolls in, we look at what’s really under the surface. Soil in Reno can shift from rocky to sandy in a single lot, and that changes how we approach every job. Our team starts with a close look at ground conditions, then clears away anything that could get in the way, such as boulders, brush, or debris. We set grades with precision, making sure water drains where it should and the site stays stable. The right machines matter, too, so we match our equipment to your soil and project size for smooth, efficient work.
- Soil Analysis: Testing ground conditions to determine the best way to dig and what tools to bring.
- Site Clearing: Removing rocks, vegetation, and debris so construction can move forward without delays.
- Grade Planning: Setting elevation levels that keep water away from foundations and prevent future headaches.
- Equipment Selection: Using machinery that fits your site’s needs, not just what’s on hand. For specialized grading, our grading services ensure optimal site preparation.
What We Handle from Start to Finish
Projects in Reno rarely follow a script. One day we’re digging a basement for a new home, the next we’re opening trenches for utility lines or clearing land for a retail build. Our crews know the neighborhoods, the soil quirks, and the challenges that come with each type of job. We handle the full range of excavation work, so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors or worry about missed steps.
- Residential Excavation: Preparing foundations, digging basements, and grading outdoor spaces for homeowners who want things done right the first time. Our team also specializes in footings and foundations to ensure lasting stability.
- Commercial Projects: Managing large-scale site work for businesses, from retail centers to industrial parks, with a focus on efficiency and accuracy.
- Utility Trenching: Digging safe, precise trenches for water, sewer, gas, and electrical lines, always with an eye on what’s already underground. We coordinate closely with underground utilities teams for seamless installation.
- Land Clearing: Taking out obstacles and prepping the ground so new construction can move ahead without surprises.
Our Dedication to Safety on Every Job
Excavation isn’t just about moving earth. It’s about protecting people, property, and the project itself. We never cut corners when it comes to safety. Before digging, we scan for existing utilities and mark out every risk. Deep excavations get the right supports to keep everything stable. Our sites stay secure, with clear barriers and signs that keep crews and bystanders safe. Equipment gets checked before every job, and only certified operators take the controls.
- Underground Scanning: Finding and marking utilities before any digging starts, so nothing gets damaged. Our experience with water lines and other essential systems helps prevent costly mistakes.
- Soil Stability: Installing supports that keep trenches and pits from collapsing during deeper work.
- Site Security: Setting up barriers and signs to keep the work area safe for everyone nearby.
- Equipment Safety: Inspecting machinery regularly and making sure only trained operators are on the job.
