  • B-C Excavating, Inc.

    4503 Lyell Road, Rochester, NY, 14606, 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 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 are the risks associated with excavation?

Excavation, while essential for many projects, involves inherent risks, including:
  • Trench Collapses: Unstable trench walls can cave in, posing a severe risk to workers. Proper shoring and sloping are crucial safety measures.
  • Utility Damage: Striking underground utilities (gas, water, electric) can cause leaks, explosions, or electrocution. Accurate utility locates and careful digging are essential.
  • Falling Objects: Materials or equipment falling into excavations can injure workers. Securing work areas and using appropriate safety gear is vital.
  • Equipment Accidents: Operating heavy machinery involves risks of rollovers, collisions, or mechanical failures. Trained operators and proper equipment maintenance are critical.
  • Environmental Hazards: Excavated soil might contain hazardous materials (asbestos, lead). Proper testing and disposal procedures are necessary.
Reputable excavation contractors prioritize safety and have protocols to mitigate these risks.

What are the different types of excavation?

Excavation encompasses various types, each with its purpose and method. Some common types include:
  • Topsoil Removal: Stripping the fertile topsoil layer from a site, often preserving it for landscaping.
  • Trench Excavation: Digging long, narrow trenches for utilities (pipes, cables) or foundations.
  • Basement Excavation: Removing earth to create a space for a basement beneath a structure.
  • Pool Excavation: Digging a precise hole for installing a swimming pool.
  • Roadway Excavation: Removing earth and preparing the ground for road construction.
  • Demolition Excavation: Clearing debris and preparing the site after demolition.
  • Channel Excavation: Creating channels for drainage or irrigation.
The specific type of excavation required depends on the project's goals and site conditions.

What is the difference between excavation and grading?

While often used together, excavation and grading are distinct processes:
Excavation: Primarily involves removing earth or other materials from a site. It's about digging down and creating space.
Grading: Focuses on shaping and leveling the ground to a specific slope or elevation. It's about adjusting the existing terrain.
For example, you might excavate a foundation and then grade the surrounding area to ensure proper drainage and a level surface for landscaping.
