  • K.A.I. Excavation & Landscaping

    Lackawaxen, US

    About Kai Wicksnes /Owner Operator When did you start your business? I started working in the landscaping /Excavation field right out of High School in 1995. I worked with Heavy Equipment since I was old enough to reach the lever's & Petals. My Best Friend Growing up had a Father in the Excavation business and I learned a lot from him at a very young age. I also came from a long line of hard working men with good work ethics. My dad taught me that learning new trades and learning about the Land was crucial to being a well rounded man. I had a natural proclivity and passion for Excavating & Landscaping since I was a young boy. Before I had my drivers licence neighbors would see me driving my bike with a cart behind it carrying a lawn mower, gas & a rake in tow. Soon I had a small business in the neighborhood and it has grown into what it is today. I have always loved seeing the end result of my work. It gives me great pride to take an area so rough & tumble & make a beautiful waterfall with a pond with free land to run on. What makes you different than other similar businesses in your community? I live in the area that I work ,so I do the best work possible to keep my clients(who are usually my neighbors) happy. I like to drive past a job I did and see kids running in the lawn I created or people sitting around a stone fireplace I built. It is very important to me to continue building a top notch business for my children to someday run. I want Kai's Associated Industries to be known for our great customer service & excellent work. I also have a lot of my own land so I get the majority of my materials right from my property. I am able to REUSE a lot of resources such as tree stumps which we bury until they biodegrade back into the soil. Being very cautious with any land & it's animals, I consider all option's while clearing a large portion of forest. We are a small family business with a big presence With over 20 years of experience & am very knowledgeable about what I do. I am now building a family who is also into landscaping & excavating. From creating landscapes, to operating machinery, to advertising, and book work. I am looking forward to my children working with me & continuing the well established business I poured my heart and soul into. I am a firm Believer that a Family that works together, Stays together . I look forward to see

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

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

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.

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.

What equipment is used for excavation?

Excavation projects employ various heavy equipment, chosen based on the job's scale and complexity. Common equipment includes:
  • Excavators: Versatile machines with a bucket, arm, and rotating cab for digging, lifting, and moving earth.
  • Backhoes: Similar to excavators but with a digging bucket on the back and a loader bucket on the front, ideal for trenching and smaller excavations.
  • Bulldozers: Powerful machines with a large blade for pushing earth, clearing land, and leveling surfaces.
  • Skid Steers: Compact and maneuverable loaders with various attachments (buckets, forks) for digging, loading, and grading in tight spaces.
  • Trenchers: Specialized machines for digging narrow trenches for utilities.
  • Dump Trucks: Vehicles for hauling excavated material to disposal sites.
The choice of equipment depends on factors such as the type of excavation, soil conditions, site accessibility, and project budget.

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.
