Excavation Contractor Serving Dallas–Fort Worth
From the first cut to final grade, our crew handles excavation for residential, commercial and industrial sites across North Texas. Whether you are breaking ground on a new build, prepping a foundation or running utilities, we bring the right Bobcat and heavy equipment to do the job accurately and on schedule.
Excavation is one of the most critical phases of any construction project. Errors in depth, slope or drainage at this stage cost far more to fix later than to get right the first time. With more than four decades of experience digging in North Texas soil, our team knows how to read a site, plan for drainage, and execute cleanly — so the next trade walks onto a ready, level surface.
Danny's Bobcat Services is family-owned and has served the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex since 1983. We are licensed and insured, work on both residential and commercial projects, and provide free, no-obligation estimates.

How we work
Every job starts with a free site visit so we can review access, soil conditions, drainage patterns and your project timeline. We mark utilities, obtain any required permits, and provide a written estimate before a single blade hits the ground. During excavation we keep the site safe, manage spoil material and maintain clean access for other trades. When we are done the area is graded and ready for the next step.

Common questions
How much does excavation cost in the Dallas area?
Excavation pricing depends on the size of the dig, soil conditions, site access and how much material has to be hauled off. Because every site is different, we provide a free on-site estimate so you get accurate, transparent pricing before any work begins. Call us at (972) 557-2600 to schedule your free visit.
Do you handle both residential and commercial excavation?
Yes. We work on everything from single-home foundation digs and driveway excavation to larger commercial and industrial site work throughout the DFW Metroplex. Our equipment fleet scales to the size of the job.
Do I need to locate utilities before excavation?
Yes — underground utilities must be marked before any digging. In Texas, call 811 (Dig Safe) at least three business days before work begins. We help coordinate the required line locates so your project stays safe and compliant with Texas law.
How deep can you excavate?
We can excavate to standard residential depths (typically 12–48 inches for utilities, 18–36 inches for slab foundations, deeper for basements) as well as larger commercial depths. We discuss your specific requirements at the free estimate visit.
How long does excavation take?
A typical residential foundation dig can be completed in one to two days. Utility trenching and larger commercial projects vary based on length, depth and soil conditions. We give you a realistic timeline with your written estimate.
Will excavation damage my yard?
We keep the work zone as contained as possible and restore access areas when we finish. For jobs on established lawns we plan the equipment path in advance to minimize disruption to areas outside the dig zone.
Do you haul away the excavated material?
Yes. Spoil removal and haul-off are part of our excavation service. If you prefer to keep the fill for grading elsewhere on the property, we can stockpile it in a designated area instead.
Do you work with builders and general contractors?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with home builders, GCs and developers across the DFW Metroplex for foundation, utility and site-prep excavation. We communicate directly with your project manager and stay on schedule so we do not hold up the next phase.
