Basements and footings
Dug to depth, corners squared and footings marked for the concrete crew.

Basements dug square, pads and driveways graded to plan, culverts set, and ground cleared with a forestry mulcher. AKW gets the site ready for the next trade on schedule.
Site prep and excavating
A crooked basement dig or a pad that is off grade becomes the concrete crew’s problem, then the builder’s, then the owner’s. Getting the dirt work right at the start is cheaper than every fix after it.
AKW digs basements and footings, grades pads, driveways and final grade, sets culverts, and clears ground with a forestry mulcher. Builders, contractors and homeowners use them because the site is ready when it is supposed to be.
Work runs across the area around Brimfield, including Brimfield, Elmwood, Farmington, Princeville, Hanna City, Yates City, Williamsfield, Dunlap, Kickapoo, Peoria, Eureka, Metamora, Washington, Canton, Knoxville and Galesburg.
What we do on a job site
Dug to depth, corners squared and footings marked for the concrete crew.
Pads cut and built up to the grade the plans call for.
Ground shaped so water runs away from the house and the yard is ready for seed.
Driveways cut in and culverts set so the water crosses where it should.
Trees and brush taken out along fence lines, field edges and building sites.
A mulcher head grinds brush and small timber in place. No burn pile left behind.
