    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. He takes pride in the company’s fleet and is happy to have an opportunity to “move dirt” himself whene

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

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.

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 long does an excavation project take?

The duration of an excavation project varies significantly depending on factors like:
  • Project Size and Scope: Larger, more complex excavations naturally take longer.
  • Soil Conditions: Rocky or challenging soil types can slow down progress.
  • Site Accessibility: Limited access might require more time for maneuvering equipment and hauling materials.
  • Weather: Inclement weather can cause delays.
  • Permitting and Inspections: Waiting for permits or inspections can extend the timeline.
Your excavation contractor can provide a more accurate estimate after assessing your project's specifics.

What is the excavation process?

A typical excavation process involves several key steps:
  1. Planning and Surveying: Defining the excavation area, marking utility lines, and determining the required depth and grade.
  2. Site Preparation: Clearing vegetation, removing obstacles, and ensuring site accessibility.
  3. Excavation: Using appropriate equipment (excavators, backhoes, etc.) to remove earth and create the desired excavation.
  4. Hauling and Disposal: Transporting excavated material to designated disposal sites, complying with environmental regulations.
  5. Backfilling and Compaction: Refilling the excavation with suitable material and compacting it to achieve the required density and stability.
  6. Grading and Finishing: Leveling and shaping the surface to the final grade for landscaping or construction.
The process might vary depending on the project's complexity and specific requirements.
