How Our Process Works

Our process begins with a site assessment where we identify underground utilities, soil type, drainage slope, and access points. You'll know exactly where we'll dig, how deep, and what equipment we'll use before any ground is broken in Dunnellon.

Loury's Land Services uses compact and mid-sized excavators capable of working through Florida's sandy and clay-heavy soils without causing unnecessary disruption. We dig trenches for water lines, septic systems, electrical conduit, and drainage pipes with precision, and we shape ground for building pads, retaining walls, and driveway extensions.

Once excavation is complete, we backfill and compact as needed, leaving your site stable and ready for the next contractor or phase. Excess material is graded on-site or hauled away based on your project needs.

Details That Matter Most

Property owners preparing for construction or site improvements often ask about depth limits, equipment access, and how we protect existing structures. Here's what you should know before moving forward.

How deep can you dig for utility trenches or septic installation?
We can dig trenches up to 12 feet deep depending on soil stability and water-table depth. Most utility and septic work in Dunnellon falls between four and eight feet.
What equipment do you use for tight or restricted access areas?
We use compact excavators with narrow tracks that fit through gates, between buildings, and along rural driveways without tearing up existing landscaping or pavement.
Can you work around existing trees or structures during excavation?
Yes, we dig carefully around root zones, foundations, and utility lines throughout Dunnellon to avoid damage while still completing the excavation accurately.
Do you handle backfilling and compaction after digging?
Backfilling and compaction are included when needed to stabilize trenches and prevent settling. We use compactors and grading equipment to ensure a solid finish.
How long does a typical excavation project take?
Most residential excavation projects take one to three days depending on trench length, depth, and soil conditions. We provide a timeline estimate after the site visit.

Whether you're installing a new septic system, running water lines, or shaping ground for a building pad, precise excavation protects your investment and keeps your project on schedule. Reach out to discuss your excavation needs and confirm availability for your Dunnellon property.
