"I have already had 3 other contractors attempt this job over the past 30 years with no success. I built this house and am hard to please but Bill Ferguson did an excellent job from start to finish and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was very professional and stayed in contact throughout the job. I am in the process of doing another project and will be having them do all of the excavation work."

"They contacted us immediately and got the permit very fast. It took 3 days from start to finish. I would recommend this company for any excavating needed as well as installing a new septic system. They care about doing the best work for you and it shows. Fantastic company!"

"Holmes Concrete & Excavation designed and installed a stamped, colored concrete walkway around 75% of our house. The walkway passed through our front and rear gardens and also covered the south end of our house where we keep our trash bins and air conditioner unit. The walkway was well designed and helped tie together the exterior of our house in a functional, aesthetically appealing way. James Holmes helped us choose a color for the concrete that matched the exterior of our house. Overall, the final product exceeded our expectations. James and his team were professional, timely, and did a great job communicating the stages of the project. We have 2 dogs and they also did a good job temporarily closing off a portion of our yard to allow the dogs to use the yard without it negatively impacting the project. We are very happy with the work and would highly recommend Holmes Concrete for a variety of concrete related work. We would definitely hire them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Your property's layout and natural features dictate the complexity of excavating. Sloped lots in Bend require shoring and additional grading permits to prevent dangerous soil movement. Hardened volcanic basalt and pumice soil demand specialized equipment for safe digging. You must contact the state utility notification center before digging to locate dense utility lines and historic irrigation canals safely.

Helpful?

After excavating, you must monitor the refilled areas for dangerous settling. Highly compressible pumice soils throughout OR require periodic re-compaction over the first few years to prevent low spots and surface hazards. Maintain erosion barriers and re-vegetate disturbed soil to stop wind erosion and spring runoff washout. Inspect your drainage systems and retaining walls every spring to repair any winter frost damage.

Helpful?

Address failing drainage and foundation issues immediately to prevent severe frost heave during harsh Bend winters. Delaying these vital repairs worsens damage and accelerates structural failure in unstable volcanic soils. Schedule non-urgent excavating during the fall and winter off-season to avoid spring and summer permit delays. Always coordinate with your local irrigation district to ensure work aligns with strict off-season timelines.

Helpful?

Proper excavating significantly boosts your property value and long-term marketability. Correcting drainage issues and foundation concerns removes major buyer objections in the highly competitive Bend real estate market. Upgrading from a septic system to city sewer creates immediate, tangible value. Creating level, usable outdoor space and securing proper permits for your groundwork gives buyers confidence and increases your home's overall appeal.

Helpful?

In the short term, excavating corrects drainage problems before freezing temperatures cause severe foundation cracking. Completing this work resolves active grading violations and avoids peak summer contractor delays. Long-term benefits include extending the lifespan of your underground utilities and protecting your foundation from unpredictable volcanic soil shifts. Well-planned groundwork also prepares your Bend property for future additions or structural upgrades.
