Excavation & Site Preparation

The Foundation for Every Great Outdoor Project

Every hardscaping and landscaping project begins below the surface. Proper excavation and site preparation are what separate work that lasts from work that shifts, settles, and fails. At Stiles & Sons, we run our own heavy equipment and handle excavation in-house — giving us full control over quality, timing, and cost.

Landscape Excavation

From patio and walkway subgrades to retaining wall foundations, we excavate with precision. Our equipment allows us to work efficiently in tight residential spaces while still handling large-scale site work.

  • Patio and walkway base excavation
  • Retaining wall footings and foundations
  • Drainage system trenching
  • Pool surrounds and outdoor living areas
  • Driveway and apron excavation

Property Grading

Whether it's rough grading for a new build or finish grading before sod installation, we establish the slopes and contours that make everything else work. Proper grading prevents water damage, ensures level surfaces, and sets the stage for successful landscaping.

  • Rough grading for new construction
  • Finish grading for lawns and planting beds
  • Lot leveling and fill work

Our Equipment

We invest in the right machines for the job. Our fleet includes Doosan excavators, a Bobcat skid steer, and an Engcon tiltrotator — a precision attachment that lets us rotate and tilt the bucket in any direction for detailed grading work that conventional excavators can't match.

Owning our own equipment means we control the schedule, respond quickly, and keep costs lower than contractors who rent everything. It also means the operators know the machines inside and out.

Professional excavation is where every great project starts.
