Hi there! We’re Ball Grading & Excavating, a proud family-owned company based in Northern Nevada. We specialize in excavation, grading, pad building, trenching, and concrete work for residential and small commercial projects. We got into this business because we love working hard, being outdoors, and helping our neighbors lay the groundwork for their homes, shops, and dreams. There’s nothing better than leaving a job site clean, level, and ready to build, knowing we did it right. We’re licensed, honest, and built on family values. When you hire us, you’re getting more than equipment, you’re getting a team that treats your property like it’s our own. We appreciate the opportunity to earn your trust and your business. Let’s move some dirt!

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.
