"My family experienced water and wind damage earlier this year. We had to be placed in a hotel. After reaching out to numerous companies, we chose Maynor construction. I am glad we did!! If it wasnâ t for Maynor and his staff, I wouldnâ t have made it. The process was long and depressing because of being away from home. However Maynor and his staff reassured me. They showed patience with me and worked hand and hand with my insurance company with getting my home repaired in a timely manner. Thank you Maynor! I truly feel like we are family!"

"We used Redline Excavation and Landscape to help prep our property and land for the installation of a 20 x40 metal building. Braden immediately began working to create the pad our building now sits on. It was evident he cares greatly about the work he does, and really takes customer satisfaction to heart. Our pad came together quickly, was level, and we had our building installed the same week. We cannot recommend Redline Excavation and Landscape enough! They are a small business with big heart."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Start by contacting local officials to secure all necessary permits for your excavating project. You must call 811 at least two business days before digging to mark underground utilities. Check your property deed for any drainage easements that restrict digging. Finally, schedule your work outside the late fall and winter months, as Kokomo experiences deep frost and challenging freeze-thaw cycles.

Helpful?

Plan your excavating work between late May and September to avoid frozen ground and heavy spring rain. Secure all permits and arrange for soil hauling before any equipment arrives on your property. You must also build a time buffer into your schedule to account for the frequent precipitation in IN, ensuring your project stays on track despite unexpected weather delays.

Helpful?

Schedule all required municipal inspections before backfilling the soil. Because Kokomo features heavy clay, you must compact the backfill in layers to prevent severe settlement. Grade the final surface so water slopes away from your foundation. Plant grass seed promptly to control erosion, and monitor the area for unexpected settling during the dry summer months when the clay shrinks.

Helpful?

Homeowners often underestimate how Kokomo’s heavy clay soil behaves during excavating. Clay expands when wet and clumps together, creating unexpectedly large piles of removed dirt. You must also account for the local frost line, which reaches about 30 inches deep and dictates footing requirements. Finally, anticipate dense underground utilities and multiple local permit requirements before starting your project.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake during excavating in IN is skipping the mandatory 811 call or failing to wait the required two full business days. Many people also ignore drainage patterns, leading to pooled water in open trenches due to the dense clay soil. Another common error involves starting work during freeze-thaw cycles in early spring, which creates unstable ground and long-term settlement issues.
