    5
    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 you handle soil disposal after excavation?

Responsible soil disposal after excavation is essential. Excavation contractors typically handle it by:
  • Hauling to Designated Disposal Sites: Transporting excavated material to approved landfills or recycling centers.
  • Recycling or Reuse: If suitable, some excavated soil might be recycled for other projects or reused on-site for landscaping or backfilling.
  • Complying with Regulations: Adhering to local and environmental regulations for soil disposal to prevent contamination or illegal dumping.
Discuss disposal plans with your contractor, inquire about recycling options, and ensure they handle waste responsibly.

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 deep can you excavate?

The depth of excavation achievable depends on multiple factors:
  • Soil Type and Stability: Stable, cohesive soils allow for deeper excavations than loose or unstable soils.
  • Groundwater Level: Excavations below the water table require dewatering techniques to manage water intrusion.
  • Equipment and Resources: The size and capabilities of excavation equipment influence the achievable depth.
  • Safety Regulations: OSHA and other safety regulations impose limitations on trench depths without proper shoring or sloping.
  • Project Requirements: The purpose of the excavation (basement, pool, foundation) determines the necessary depth.
Experienced excavation contractors can assess your site and project specifics to determine the safe and feasible excavation depth.

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.
