Stallings sits on Piedmont red clay. It is dense, sticky, and slow to drain. After a hard summer storm, it holds water like a bowl. That means mud, pooling, and trenches that collapse on you.
LG Landscaping LLC builds around this soil. We know how it behaves, and we plan every job for it.
Poor grading is where problems start. Water collects near the foundation. Slopes wash out. Schedules slip while the site dries out, and repair bills climb. You end up paying twice.
Our excavation services fix the ground before it becomes your problem. We bring the heavy equipment to cut precise grades, even in rough conditions. We set drainage so water moves away from your structure and stays away.
You get a stable site, a solid foundation pad, and a build that stays on schedule. If you need a professional excavation contractor who understands Union County dirt, we will walk your lot and give you a straight answer.
From residential projects to commercial developments, we provide end-to-end solutions for every stage of construction.
Good excavation follows a process. Ours has four steps, and we do not skip any.
Step 1: On-Site Evaluation and Utility Mapping. We assess your soil and call NC811 to locate every underground line. You avoid strikes, fines, and delays.
Step 2: Clearing and Topsoil Stripping. We remove trees and brush, then strip unstable topsoil. This gets us down to firm, load-bearing earth.
Step 3: Deep Excavation and Laser-Guided Trenching. Our track excavators and laser levels cut footings, utility trenches, and foundation cutouts to exact depth. Your crew gets clean lines to build on.
Step 4: Compaction, Slope Stabilization, and Clean-Up. We run heavy roller compaction so the ground does not settle. We shape positive drainage away from your structure, then clean up before we leave.
Foundation Dig Off Stevens Mill Road: A homeowner needed a foundation cutout on a sloped lot after weeks of rain. We stripped the soft topsoil, trenched the footings to laser-set depth, and compacted the pad in layers. We graded the lot to shed water away from the house. The pour went on schedule.
Commercial Pad Along US-74: A business owner near the Monroe Expressway needed a level building pad and drainage tie-in. We cleared the lot, hauled off excess clay, and set a gravel base over geotextile fabric. The site drained properly through the next storm season, and paving started on time.
