    N4207 County Road V, Eden, 53019, US

    We’re just the right size. Rahn Excavating & Grading is big enough to handle the big jobs yet small enough to provide personalized, hands-on service. History Rahn Excavating & Grading started in 1974 when Miles and Cele Rahn donated a parcel of their farmland for their son, Denny, to start his own excavating business. Miles was an active part of the company well into his 80s, and Denny remains at the helm to this day. The company began with a 977K CAT Loader, a 350 John Deer Dozer, and a 3960 International Excavator, focusing primarily on improvement projects for local farmers. Today, Rahn Excavating & Grading services a variety of industries, including commercial, municipal and residential development, leveraging state-of-the-art, GPS-controlled equipment. Despite more than four decades of experience and growth, Rahn Excavating & Grading has never lost touch with its roots. Denny’s son, Chris, serves as vice president, and the entire staff — an extended family — provides excellent, responsive service our competitors cannot match. We are small enough to be nimble but big enough to tackle large, complex projects. Why Choose Rahn Proven success in four major markets Highly competitive pricing Conscientious, ethical practices Top-of-the-line technology and equipment State certification and bonded Reputation for dependable, high-quality work Subcontractor capabilities Superb safety ratings Safety A job well done means more than just a job that’s done. Part and parcel with outstanding work is the assurance that we meet your requirements efficiently and safely. Rahn Excavating & Grading continuously trains with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to ensure the safety of personnel and property on a job site. We have experienced — and sustained — some of the best MOD ratings with regard to workman’s compensation, and we pride ourselves on staying far above the industry standards in terms of safety. Key Staff Rahn Excavating & Grading was Denny’s dream from the start. With more than 45 years of experience in excavating and grading, he has built a strong company with a legacy of successful projects. Denny’s role at the company hasn’t changed much over the years. He is involved with each project from start to finish. Denny splits his time between the office and running equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

What is the best time of year for excavation?

The ideal time for excavation can depend on your location and climate. Generally:
  • Spring and Fall: Often considered favorable due to moderate temperatures and drier soil conditions.
  • Summer: Can be suitable, but hot weather can make working conditions challenging and might require additional measures (shade, hydration) for workers.
  • Winter: Excavation in winter can be more difficult due to frozen ground, snow, and potential delays caused by inclement weather. It might also require specialized equipment or techniques.
Consult with your excavation contractor to determine the best timing for your project, considering local weather patterns and potential seasonal constraints.

What are the different methods of excavation?

Excavation methods vary depending on project needs, site conditions, and available resources. Some common methods include:
  • Mechanical Excavation: Utilizing heavy equipment like excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, and loaders, suitable for most projects.
  • Hand Excavation: Using hand tools (shovels, picks) for smaller excavations or delicate work near utilities.
  • Blasting: Employing explosives to break up rock or hard materials, typically for large-scale projects.
  • Hydro Excavation: Using high-pressure water jets to loosen and remove soil, often used for locating utilities or delicate excavation.
  • Vacuum Excavation: Employing a vacuum system to suck up excavated material, suitable for safe excavation near utilities or in confined spaces.
Excavation contractors choose the most appropriate method based on factors like efficiency, cost, safety, and environmental impact.

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.

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.
