Commercial Excavation & Foundation Backfilling

Building on a Solid Foundation

The integrity of any structure begins with the dig. Munson Earth Moving provides precise excavation services for commercial foundations, basements, and footings. We work closely with General Contractors and concrete crews to ensure excavations meet exact dimensional and depth requirements, keeping your concrete pour on schedule.

Excavation Services

Foundation Dig-Outs

From tight urban footprints in Burlington to massive industrial pads in Williston, we have the excavators sized for the job. Our operators are experts at digging square, clean trenches that minimize concrete waste.

Engineered Backfilling & Compaction

Putting the dirt back is just as important as taking it out. We use proper “lifts” and compaction equipment to backfill foundations, ensuring the soil reaches the required density. This prevents future settling that can crack your slab or damage utility lines.

Soil Export & Site Balancing

If your site has excess spoil or poor-quality soil, our fleet of dump trucks can efficiently export materials. We also screen topsoil in-house[cite: 1], allowing us to return high-quality organic material to your site for final landscaping.

Excavation Logistics

How do you ensure safety in deep trenches?

Trench safety is non-negotiable. We utilize trench boxes and proper benching/sloping techniques for any excavation deeper than 5 feet, ensuring the safety of our crew and anyone working near the hole (like concrete or plumbing subcontractors).

Do you coordinate with concrete companies?

Absolutely. We know that the excavator sets the pace for the foundation crew. We coordinate our digging schedule with your concrete provider to ensure the hole is ready, the rebar can be tied, and the pour happens on time.

What happens if you hit ledge or rock?

We are equipped to handle Vermont ledge. If we encounter rock that cannot be ripped by a standard excavator, we can deploy hydraulic hammers to break it out. For massive rock removal, we coordinate with blasting specialists to clear the path safely.
