    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.

How much does excavation cost?

Excavation costs in the USA vary greatly based on several factors:
  • Project Size and Scope: The larger and more complex the excavation, the higher the cost.
  • Soil Type: Different soil types require different equipment and techniques, impacting costs. Rocky or clay-rich soil can be more expensive to excavate than loose soil.
  • Accessibility: Difficult-to-access sites might require specialized equipment or additional labor, increasing expenses.
  • Disposal Costs: Hauling away excavated material (soil, rocks, etc.) to disposal sites incurs additional fees.
  • Permits and Inspections: Depending on local regulations, permits and inspections might be required, adding to the overall cost.
To get an accurate estimate, provide detailed project information to multiple excavation contractors on ExcavationHQ and compare their quotes.

What is the difference between excavation and grading?

While often used together, excavation and grading are distinct processes:
Excavation: Primarily involves removing earth or other materials from a site. It's about digging down and creating space.
Grading: Focuses on shaping and leveling the ground to a specific slope or elevation. It's about adjusting the existing terrain.
For example, you might excavate a foundation and then grade the surrounding area to ensure proper drainage and a level surface for landscaping.

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.
