Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We coordinate with 811 and verify utility locations on site plans. For complex properties, GPR scanning is available to identify subsurface utilities before excavation.

We handle site grading and clearing, trench excavation for utilities and drainage, foundation excavation for new construction, pier access holes for foundation repair, demolition and removal of existing structures, and backfill and compaction. All work follows OSHA safety standards and local DFW building codes.

Our equipment handles excavation depths from shallow grading to 15+ feet for deep utility trenches and foundation work. For deeper excavation in DFW clay soil, we follow OSHA trench safety requirements including shoring, sloping, or trench box systems to protect workers and adjacent structures.

Most commercial excavation in DFW requires permits, especially work near utilities, public right-of-way, or that exceeds certain depths. FCS handles the permitting process and coordinates with 811 for utility locates before any digging begins. We ensure all work meets city and county requirements.

DFW expansive clay soil presents unique challenges. When wet, it becomes extremely heavy and sticky. When dry, it shrinks and hardens. This affects equipment selection, trench stability, and backfill requirements. Our crews have 25+ years of experience working in DFW clay and adjust techniques based on current soil moisture conditions.
