What to Expect When You Book

When you schedule excavation work, you'll start with an on-site assessment where operators evaluate soil type, access points, and the scope of digging required. In Chester, this often means accounting for varying ground conditions and planning equipment routes that protect existing landscaping. You'll receive a clear timeline and know exactly what prep work happens before the first bucket of earth moves.

Lilco Construction Inc uses proper equipment for each phase, from initial cuts to final grading, ensuring your site meets the specifications needed for utilities, drainage systems, or foundation pours. Skilled operators handle both small residential digs and larger prep work with attention to safety and precision. You'll see controlled trenching that keeps your project on schedule and reduces the risk of future settling or drainage problems.

The process includes removing soil in layers, checking depth and grade as work progresses, and compacting fill material to create a stable base. Proper grading standards are followed throughout, so water drains away from structures and your building site remains level and ready for the next phase of construction.
