    19760 Road 222, Strathmore, 93267-9702, US

    About Vollmer Excavation Since 1972, Robert Vollmer started his one-man business in Tulare County. He began with a backhoe service, providing services for farming operations, construction jobs, and septic system repairs. After several years, he expanded his services to include swimming pool excavation, dump truck service, and material sales. Over the years, the business has grown and expanded its services throughout the Central Valley. Vollmer Excavation believes no job is too small. Contact our office for a free estimate.

Over 30 Years of Experience California Licensed General Engineering Contractors License # 969883 License Type Class A C21 HAV HIC Member of the Better Business Bureau Free Estimates and Consultations History of Vollmer Excavation: Bob was born and raised in the Lindsay, California area. His family lived in the foothills of Lindsay where they worked together. Bob and his siblings would go to school and after they returned home they worked with their parents, packing fruit, caring for the family ranch, and working in the family granite pit. In the 1970’s, Bob worked at the local creamery doing maintenance on their equipment. An acquaintance of his stopped by to let him know that he had a backhoe for sale and wanted to know if Bob knew of anyone who may be interested. The backhoe was really worn out, but Bob thought he could repair it and sell it for a small profit. Friends and neighbors started asking him to do some work for them before he sold his backhoe. Of course, he wasn’t going to say no, one small job led to another and before he knew it he had his own backhoe business. Bob ran the old Ford Major backhoe for about a year and a half until the boom broke in half. He upgraded to a newer machine and landed a nice contract with a swimming pool company digging pools. When a different swimming pool contractor-asked for his services it was time to start hiring help. This small one-man business has grown to 25 employees today, one employee recently retired being one of the original employees starting in 1972 and worked with him until 2013, a total of 41 years! Bob’s employees are more than just employees to him, they are friends, family. To this day Bob still has some of his original customers. It is very important to him to take care of his customers and to make sure they are happy. He has made many emergency, middle of the night runs for his customers, anything from pulling a truck out of the mud to repairing a broken pipeline. We can honestly say his work is his life, he loves to work and to help people. Bob has made a great name for himself in the Central Valley and for very good reason!

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

Do I need a permit for excavation?

Permit requirements for excavation vary widely depending on your location and the project's specifics. Generally, permits are needed for:
  • Excavations Deeper Than a Certain Depth: This varies by jurisdiction, usually around 5 feet.
  • Excavations Near Utilities: Digging near buried utilities (gas, water, electric) often requires permits and utility locates to prevent damage.
  • Excavations Affecting Public Property: Projects impacting sidewalks, roads, or other public areas typically require permits.
  • Excavations in Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Projects in wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive areas might need special permits.
Contact your local building department or planning authority to determine the permit requirements for your excavation project. Failure to obtain necessary permits can result in fines or project delays.

How do I know if I need a retaining wall?

Retaining walls are structures designed to hold back soil or rock and prevent erosion on sloped terrain. You might need a retaining wall if:
  • Sloped Property: Your property has a significant slope, making it prone to soil erosion or landslides.
  • Creating Usable Space: You want to level off a sloped area to create a flat surface for patios, gardens, or other outdoor spaces.
  • Preventing Damage: Erosion is threatening existing structures, driveways, or walkways.
  • Landscaping Features: You're incorporating tiered gardens, raised beds, or other landscaping elements requiring soil retention.
Consult with an excavation contractor or landscape architect to determine if a retaining wall is necessary for your project and to ensure it's properly designed and constructed for safety and longevity.

How much does it cost to excavate a basement?

Basement excavation costs can fluctuate considerably based on these factors:
  • Basement Size: The larger the basement, the more excavation is required, increasing the cost.
  • Soil Type: Excavating rocky or dense clay soil is generally more expensive than loose soil.
  • Accessibility: Difficult-to-access sites might require specialized equipment or more labor, driving up costs.
  • Foundation Type: The chosen foundation type (full basement, crawl space, slab) affects excavation needs.
  • Underpinning: If underpinning (strengthening existing foundations) is necessary, it significantly increases costs.
  • Disposal Fees: Hauling excavated soil to disposal sites adds to the overall expense.
Contact excavation contractors for detailed quotes based on your specific basement project.

How do I find a good excavation contractor?

Finding a reputable excavation contractor involves careful research and consideration. Look for the following qualities:
  • Experience: Choose contractors with a proven track record and years of experience in excavation projects similar to yours.
  • Licensing and Insurance: Verify that they are properly licensed to operate in your area and carry adequate insurance to protect you from liability in case of accidents or damage.
  • Equipment and Resources: Ensure they have the necessary equipment and resources to handle your project efficiently and safely.
  • Positive Reviews and References: Check online reviews and testimonials from previous customers. Request references and contact them to inquire about their experience with the contractor.
  • Professionalism: Opt for a company that communicates clearly, provides detailed and transparent estimates, and has a responsive and courteous team.
Online directories like ExcavationHQ can simplify the process by allowing you to compare qualified excavation contractors in your area.
