01/What we do

From bare ground to a pad you can build on.

Clearing, stripping, grading, the dig and the backfill are all done by Thompson Excavating with our own equipment. No subs, and no layers between you and the person who is actually moving the dirt.

01

Site Preparation

Clearing, stripping, grading and access roads. We set the pad and the elevations so the build starts on solid ground.

Topsoil is stripped and stockpiled, the pad is cut to grade, and the site gets the access road and staging room the job needs. The same hands are on your site from start to backfill.

  • Pad cut to grade
  • Topsoil stripped & stockpiled
  • Site access & staging
02

Foundations & Footers

Cleanly excavated basements, footers and slab pads cut to dimension. Backfill and compaction once the wall is in.

Full and partial basements, footers cut to spec and slab pads cut to dimension. Once the wall is in, we come back to backfill and compact.

  • Full & partial basements
  • Footers to spec
  • Backfill & compaction
02/How it goes

Four steps. No surprises.

You call, a Thompson walks the site, you get a written price, and our own crew does the work.

  1. 01

    You call us

    Pick up the phone and tell us what you need. We answer the line. If we miss it, we call back same day, not next week.

    You'll talk to a Thompson.
  2. 02

    We walk the site

    A Thompson is on your property, eyes on the ground. We listen, look at the soil, check the access, and ask the right questions.

    No charge for the visit.
  3. 03

    Written quote

    You get a single-page written quote with scope, schedule and a fixed price. No vague hourly rates that creep at the end.

    Quote good for 30 days.
  4. 04

    We do the work

    Our iron rolls in on the day we said. Our crew handles every shovel and bucket. No subs. We leave the site cleaner than we found it.
