We dig clean, accurate foundations that help keep your build on schedule and your site ready for work.
At Burdick Land Solutions, we handle basement excavation with the kind of care and planning that keeps a project moving the right way from the start. Whether you are building a new home, adding a full basement, or replacing an old foundation, proper excavation is one of the most important steps. The digging has to be accurate, the grade has to be right, and the site has to stay safe and workable for the next phase of construction.
Our basement excavation service starts with a close look at the site conditions. We consider slope, access, drainage, soil conditions, nearby structures, and how the excavation will affect the rest of the property. From there, we create a clean and efficient plan for digging, spoil removal, and site prep. We work to the required depth and footprint for the foundation while keeping dimensions tight and the subgrade ready for footing work.
This service often includes site clearing, stripping topsoil, rough grading, digging for the basement footprint, trenching for footings or utilities, and hauling or stockpiling excavated material. If needed, we also shape the area for proper water runoff and help prepare the site for foundation crews, plumbing rough-ins, and drainage systems. Our goal is to leave you with a clean, accessible, build-ready excavation area.
Because basement digging can quickly turn into a bigger problem if it is done wrong, we focus on details that protect your investment. That means watching for soft spots, managing water issues, maintaining stable excavation walls when possible, and using the right equipment for the size and layout of the job. As an owner-operated, family-run company, we believe in straightforward pricing, dependable work, and honest communication throughout the project.
If you need basement excavation for new construction or a foundation project, we are ready to help. Burdick Land Solutions brings hands-on experience, practical site knowledge, and a no-nonsense approach to every job. Contact us to talk about your project and schedule basement excavation with a team that shows up ready to work.
We start with a site visit to review access, grades, soil conditions, drainage, and the planned basement footprint. Then we give you a clear, straightforward quote and timeline so you know exactly what to expect before any digging begins.
Before excavation, we map out equipment access, spoils staging, utility awareness, erosion control, and safe cut depths for your basement dig. This planning step helps us protect nearby structures, keep the job moving, and avoid costly surprises once work starts.
We complete the basement excavation with close attention to depth, slope, haul-out, and a clean subgrade ready for the next phase of construction. Afterward, we tidy the site, review the finished work with you, and make sure you feel confident before we wrap up.
Common questions homeowners ask about basement digging, site prep, pricing, timelines, and what to expect when working with Burdick Land Solutions.

“We had a wonderful experience with the guys from Burdick Land Solutions. Our land hadn't been touched in over 30 years, they cut down trees and mulched them up and cleared about 5 acres. It turned out absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier. Side note, they are some of the kindest people you will ever meet which is rephreashing in this crazy world we live in, we enjoyed visiting with them and definately made new friends! We give them our best referral and would definately use them again.”
“Our driveway was a complete wreck, every time it rained the bottom of the driveway washed out. We live on a creek bottom dirt road and watched everyone around us bring in gravel just to have it wash away to the neighbor's pasture each time it rained. I found Burdick Land Solutions beautiful website and pored over it. Talked it over with the man of the house and called them. Ben was very helpful on the phone, that was on a Tuesday afternoon. That afternoon he texted me to let me know that Jack was coming out for a site visit on Thursday. He messaged me the day prior to the site visit to remind me and of course on the day of the visit Jack showed up, I believe he was even a couple minutes early. He spent a lot of time walking over the property, seeing what the problem areas were, taking measurements, photos and videos and said we'd have a quote within a couple days. Early the next morning Ben called and sent us a quote. We reviewed it and decided we wanted a bit more in the parking area so he instantly redid the quote. This all happened within three days of initially contacting them. On Saturday we were going over the quote and were just a bit confused about the boundaries, I texted and he immediately called and we went over it again. He was so patient and polite. We paid the deposit on August 5th. On the 6th Ben called and said he had us scheduled for the 27th. Just about every single day until the job started he contacted me, just staying in touch. On the 20th Ben said they finished another job and was going to start ours, a week early. Jack showed up Friday morning with equipment and started working. We found him absolutely wonderful to work with. He even protected a couple trees we really liked, one old dogwood tree and a young redwood that were close to the worksite. They finished the job in good time, always with excellent communication. Someone was always telling us what was going on, what was going to happen next. The job was finished yesterday, they dug new trenches to redirect the water, built a huge berm to hopefully keep it redirected. Another smaller berm and trench up the hill from the house to keep the deluge from the house and brought in five trucks of gravel to resurface the driveway and parking areas. He even planted grass seed on the berm and covered it with straw. Excellent communication; excellent work ethic; the most polite contractors I've ever dealt with in my life. You simply can't go wrong having Burdick Land Solutions do a job for you. I uploaded some pictures, before, during and after. Thank you Ben and Jack and Jonathan too. You are all stellar.”
“Great guys, they got the work done done nice and quick and didn't charge me an arm and a leg”
