  • B-C Excavating, Inc.
    5
    30 Valerie Trail, Spencerport, NY, 14559, US

    Our History It all began in 1974 when Louis J. Brongo, a hard working father of 8 children, made a life changing decision to get ahead in life. Louis J. worked as a shovel operator for a company, digging basements for new homes. This is where he met a business partner, and the two invested in some equipment to work for themselves throughout Monroe County. They still concentrated on digging basements, but also started excavating land for farmers and digging trenches for sewer & water lines. In early 1980, Louis R. Brongo joined the business, bringing experience from working with other local construction companies. After a few years (when the founding partners both decided to part ways) Louis J. and his son, Louis R., bought out the partner, officially making B-C Excavating, Inc, a family-owned business. Louis R. started cutting and selling firewood at the young age of 13 to make some money. He noticed at job sites that the contractors wanted trees, brush and stumps either buried on site or hauled away. Recognizing the opportunity to recycle wood into firewood, B-C Excavating, Inc. started offering land clearing services. As the demand for this service increased, our company focus shifted to land clearing. We purchased some specialized forestry equipment and started land clearing with the intent of recycling all the material from each job. Three generations later… This passion for land clearing certainly runs in our bloodline! 1974- Louis J. Brongo begins a new company specializing in digging basements, excavating land for farmers, and digging trenches for water & sewer lines. Early 1980s- Louis R. Brongo joins the business, and the company begins offering land clearing and firewood services. 1999- Jason Brongo joined the company, operating equipment and working in the field 2001- Jennifer (Brongo) Mesh begins working in the office. 2002- Joshua Brongo joined B-C Excavating, Inc.. After a few years with us, he went off to start his own tree company. We are a multi-generational family owned and operated company… When you choose B-C Excavating, Inc.-- you work directly with one of the owners. We take great pride in our work, maintaining a good reputation, and offering fair pricing with an experienced and professional operating crew to complete jobs efficiently. We recycle all trees, brush and stumps from land clearing jobs into log loads, mulch, wood chips and firewood. Nothing-- from any land clearing job-- goes to waste. We work mainly for contractors,

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the USA.

How do I prepare my property for excavation?

Here's a checklist to prepare your property for an excavation project:
  • Clear the Area: Remove any obstacles, including vehicles, outdoor furniture, landscaping features, or structures, from the excavation zone and surrounding area.
  • Mark Existing Features: Identify and mark underground utilities, septic tanks, sprinkler systems, or other buried elements you want to protect.
  • Protect Landscaping: Use tarps or fencing to shield trees, shrubs, gardens, or other landscaping elements from damage.
  • Provide Access: Ensure the excavation contractor has clear access to the work area, including gates wide enough for equipment.
  • Discuss Logistics: Coordinate with the contractor regarding parking arrangements, material delivery, and any special instructions or concerns you might have.
By taking these steps, you can minimize disruptions, ensure a smoother excavation process, and protect your property.

How do I calculate how much dirt I need for fill?

To calculate the volume of dirt (fill) needed, follow these steps:
  1. Determine the Area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to fill. Multiply them to get the area in square feet (or meters).
  2. Determine the Depth: Measure the difference between the existing grade and the desired grade (how much you need to raise the ground). This is the depth of fill required.
  3. Calculate Volume: Multiply the area (step 1) by the depth (step 2) to get the volume in cubic feet (or meters).
  4. Account for Compaction: Fill dirt compacts when it settles, so add 10% to 25% to the calculated volume to account for compaction. The exact percentage depends on the type of fill material.
For complex projects or uneven terrain, consult an excavation contractor or surveyor for accurate volume calculations.

What is the difference between topsoil and subsoil?

Topsoil and subsoil are distinct soil layers with different properties:
Topsoil: The uppermost layer, typically rich in organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms. It's essential for plant growth and is often darker in color.
Subsoil: The layer beneath the topsoil, containing less organic matter and generally denser. It provides support for roots but is less fertile than topsoil.
During excavation, topsoil is often removed and preserved separately for later use in landscaping, while subsoil is typically used for backfilling or other less demanding applications.

How do I know if I need excavation for my project?

Several project types often necessitate excavation:
  • New Construction: Laying foundations, basements, or underground utilities for new buildings.
  • Home Additions: Creating space for new rooms, basements, or extensions.
  • Landscaping: Leveling ground, creating slopes, installing retaining walls, or digging for ponds or pools.
  • Drainage Improvement: Installing French drains, drainage ditches, or swales to manage water runoff.
  • Utility Installation or Repair: Laying new water, sewer, gas, or electrical lines, or repairing existing ones.
  • Demolition: Clearing debris and preparing the site after demolishing a structure.
If your project involves altering the ground level or installing underground features, excavation is likely required.
