"My hunting land needed stumps, trees and brush removed and a trail system created. Evan came out and walked the 90 acres with me. I explained what my ideas were for improving the hunting on the property. He did make some recommendations for the land and repairs to the pond. He had improvements on other properties, which worked well his customers. I gave him my budget and he believed he would be in budget. Some issues come up on my side and they were very willing to work me get it done. My hunting party and I are very happy with the work done. My 76 yr old father in law and friend that had a stroke can easily navigate for hunting. They worked long days due to a rain delay. This was to stay on the work schedule for the next customer. I would HIGHLY recommend Evan and Josh for rotary head and high hoe work. My neighbors and I have another project we are planning for the next year. I wanted to load photos of the work done, but the app will not let me."

"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

"My wife & I had our master bathroom remolded. Cameron was very meticulous about his work. It was a pleasure to be consulted throughout the process. He provided options & was open to our suggestions. We absolutely love our bathroom and feel like we're in a luxury hotel. We both agree that it certainly was a great investment for us. As a result of his craftsmanship, Cameron installed a casement window in our kitchen and tile flooring in our half bathroom. We unequivocally recommend Cameron for home improvement."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Encountering shallow groundwater near Beaver Dam Lake requires unbudgeted pumping equipment and extends project timelines. Because local clay soils are unsuitable for structural backfill, homeowners face unexpected expenses for hauling away dirt and importing proper gravel. Digging in established neighborhoods uncovers abandoned utility lines and old cisterns that demand immediate attention. Additionally, starting an excavating project near the winter freeze season requires specialized ground-thawing equipment and creates costly delays.

Helpful?

Excavating near your Beaver Dam foundation easily disturbs fragile, older clay tile sewer laterals connecting to the municipal main. Digging also risks damaging your foundation drain tiles, which feed your sump pump and prevent basement flooding. If your home has a sub-slab radon mitigation system, disturbing the surrounding soil compromises its effectiveness. Always verify that changing the yard's grade directs stormwater safely away from basement window wells and neighboring properties.

Helpful?

Homeowners frequently underestimate the short working season for excavating in WI, since frozen ground halts progress from late November through March. Properties near Beaver Dam Lake encounter high water tables, requiring necessary pumping equipment. Additionally, local clay soil expands when wet and shrinks when dry, meaning you must import granular fill instead of reusing the native dirt. Always account for extended permit review times during the busy spring months.

Helpful?

Contact the state hotline at least three business days before excavating to mark underground utilities. Request as-built utility maps from local Beaver Dam officials to locate older water mains and sewer laterals. Apply for all required permits early to avoid spring backlog delays. Check local floodplain maps to confirm any additional regulatory requirements. Finally, schedule your project between late April and October to avoid frozen ground and unstable, saturated spring soils.

Helpful?

A successful excavating project in Beaver Dam requires proper soil compaction to prevent the local clay from settling. Verify that the ground slopes away from your foundation, dropping at least six inches over ten feet. Ensure all mandatory state inspections are documented before burying systems. Finally, confirm the work reaches the 48-inch Dodge County frost line or includes adequate frost protection to keep your home safe during cold weather.
