Before any structure goes up or driveway goes down, the ground has to be right. Davis & Company, a family-owned excavation and site work contractor based in Perry, Michigan, has announced expanded excavation services for the 2026 season. The company handles residential, agricultural, and commercial excavation across Mid-Michigan — covering foundation digging, utility trenching, pond construction, and drainage correction. Established in 2015, Davis & Company performs all work with its own equipment and crew, without subcontracting, across Perry, Howell, Brighton, Lansing, and the surrounding region.

“Excavation is the part of the job nobody sees when it’s done — but it determines whether everything above it holds up over time. In Michigan, that means thinking about soil type, drainage, and what the freeze-thaw cycle will do to the ground every single year. Those decisions happen before anything else, and that’s where we put the most focus.” — [Owner First Name] Davis, Owner, Davis & Company

What Excavation Services Cover for Perry, MI Homeowners and Landowners

Excavation covers more project types than most property owners expect. Foundation digging prepares residential and commercial build sites to the correct depth for Michigan’s frost line. Utility trenching creates pathways for drainage pipe, water lines, and electrical conduit. Pond construction and drainage correction address standing water, soil erosion, and poor site drainage that limits property usability. Davis & Company handles all four categories in house, using its own equipment fleet without passing work to specialty subcontractors.

How Michigan Soil and Frost Depth Affect Excavation Planning

Shiawassee County soils are predominantly clay and clay loam — dense, slow-draining, and prone to significant ground movement through seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Excavation projects that don’t account for Michigan’s frost depth or local clay behavior produce foundations and drainage systems that fail within years. Davis & Company conducts an on-site soil assessment before finalizing any excavation plan, adjusting depth specifications and compaction standards based on actual site conditions rather than a standard formula applied to every job.

What Should Perry, MI Property Owners Ask Before Hiring an Excavation Contractor?

Three questions help narrow down excavation contractors quickly. First: does the company own its equipment, or is work subcontracted? Second: will the crew visit the site before quoting? Third: is haul-away, drainage evaluation, and final grading included in scope — or billed separately? Davis & Company answers yes to all three. On-site assessments are provided at no cost, and every project phase is managed by the same crew from initial excavation through grading completion.

How Excavation Sets Up Driveways, Grading, and Long-Term Drainage

Decisions made during excavation set the baseline for every site improvement that follows. Proper drainage grading during excavation eliminates standing water issues that would otherwise require separate remediation. A correctly excavated driveway base — compacted to the right depth for Michigan’s clay-heavy soils — holds up through years of freeze-thaw cycles without rutting or sinking. Davis & Company treats excavation as Phase One of an integrated site work project, coordinating grading, driveway installation, and hydro-seeding as connected steps rather than separate bids.

Why Farmers and Commercial Property Managers Across Mid-Michigan Work with Davis & Company

Agricultural and commercial excavation projects require equipment capacity that most residential contractors don’t carry. Davis & Company has served agricultural clients across Shiawassee and Livingston counties since 2015, handling drainage ditching, pond construction, and access road preparation across properties ranging from residential lots to multi-acre farm parcels. Commercial property managers have relied on the company for site grading, pad construction, and utility trenching. Financing is available for qualifying projects.
