How Second Nature Approaches Commercial Excavation Projects

At Second Nature, we put in the effort to ensure that commercial excavation projects are done right. This means taking the time to learn your land before we come in with our equipment. When we take on your job, we’ll do all the following:

  1. Assess Your Property: We measure and account for the land’s qualities like water accumulation and grading, as well as check for utilities.
  2. Plan the Excavation: With the property evaluated, we create a detailed plan for a safe excavation.
  3. Efficient Commercial Excavation: Our team will methodically execute the plan using our high-quality machinery and decades of experience. We get the job done quickly and safely, minimizing disruptions and delays to your work.
  4. Final Grading and Evaluation: Once we’re finished with the excavation, we can grade the land to your specifications and ensure everything is safe and stable.


Our Commercial Excavation Services

We offer comprehensive commercial excavation services in Franklin County and across Greater St. Louis and can help with the following:

Land Clearing

Before digging into the dirt with a commercial excavation project, we clear the land of brush, trees, and other growth or debris. Land clearing is the first step to a successful project and gives you the canvas for future commercial landscaping.

Building Demolition

If there’s an existing structure on your commercial property, we can assist with the building demolition. You don’t have to worry about the debris or leftover scrap—we’ll clear everything away as part of the excavation.

Erosion Control

If there are issues with drainage in your property, erosion control can help change the flow of water to protect your building, landscaping, and hardscaping. We take this into account as part of our commercial excavation jobs.

Foundation Digging

If you’re starting a new construction project, we can assist with clearing the area and digging the foundation. A quality building starts with a strong foundation. And a strong foundation starts with expert excavation.

Utility Trenching

Utility trenching is essential when planning a commercial construction project. We help make sure that your building connects to power, water, and all other utilities safely. Outside of new construction projects, we can also perform utility trenching for additions and repairs.

Dirt Grading

If the landscaping around your commercial property is uneven and/or sloped, part of our commercial excavation job could include dirt grading. Our team at Second Nature can handle any size dirt grading project in St. Louis, so just let us know what you need.

Commercial Landscaping

Now that you have the property clear, and after construction is complete (if applicable), it’s time for commercial landscaping. Our horticulture experts can help with everything from plant selection to placement and installation.

Commercial Hardscaping

If you want to add patios, walkways, and/or driveways to your property, you’ll want to look into commercial hardscaping. We can help set up permanent fixtures that will make your property stand out from the rest of St. Louis.
