About First Grade Excavating
First Grade Excavating was founded in 2002 with a focus on new housing final grades and drainage correction specialties, hence our slogan, "The Right Grade, The First Time." We are a second-generation company, building upon the legacy of Hancock Excavating, which was started in the early 1970s by Frank & Ludwina Hancock. Their business evolved over the years, from concrete construction to general dirt work, primarily focusing on new housing basement excavation for over 50 years.
Today, we continue their legacy with over 35 years of hands-on experience, offering similar yet different services. Our primary focus is on residential drainage corrections, erosion control, concrete, above-ground swimming pools, and complete lawn renovations. We take pride in managing complex and limited access projects, ensuring a fair-priced quality product that represents generations of experience and knowledge.
