Residential Excavation
Start Your Home Project on Solid Ground
Before a home is built, utilities installed, or land developed, excavation comes first. At Berg Excavation LLC, we help homeowners and residential builders across Livingston, Montana and nearby areas with reliable, accurate excavation work — backed by over 35 years of hands-on experience.
Our team delivers safe, efficient, and properly graded excavation that sets the stage for lasting construction. Whether you're breaking ground on a new home or upgrading rural property infrastructure, we have the tools, crew, and know-how to get it done right.
OUR SERVICES
Full-Service Residential Excavation
We offer a complete range of excavation services for new builds, additions, and property improvements. Common residential excavation work includes:
Utility Trenching
We dig clean, code-compliant trenches for:
- Water and sewer lines
- Gas lines
- Electrical conduit
- Drainage systems
Our team ensures proper slope, depth, and backfill to prevent issues down the road.
Foundation Excavation
We dig precise foundation footings and basements, ensuring proper depth, width, and slope for concrete pours. From crawl spaces to full basements, we dig with structural integrity in mind.
Driveway Excavation & Grading
Planning a gravel or concrete driveway? We remove vegetation, level the area, and create a stable base layer that lasts through Montana’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Site Clearing
We remove brush, trees, rocks, and debris to prepare your site for construction. No more fighting the terrain — we give you a clean, workable space.
Drainage and Slope Correction
Proper grading prevents future drainage issues. We design and shape land to divert water safely away from foundations and structures.
Septic System Prep
We excavate septic tank pits, leach fields, and drainage areas with care, following county codes and working closely with your installer or inspector.
