Building Pads
Precision building pad installation for barns, homes, and commercial structures.
Planning to build a new home, barn, or commercial space? Getting your building pad right is the most critical first step of your entire project. In Ohio, our heavy clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles can wreak havoc on a foundation if the ground isn't prepped correctly.
We know how stressful it can be to worry about your new building shifting, settling, or dealing with water issues down the road. A poorly prepared site can lead to cracked concrete, structural damage, and costly repairs that nobody wants to deal with.
At Double B Excavations and Grade, we take the guesswork out of your foundation. From carefully excavating and removing unsuitable dirt to importing the right materials and achieving perfect compaction, we make sure your site is rock-solid. Let's get your project started on the strongest possible footing!
