Excavation & Sitework

Every great build starts with the dirt

Before the foundation pour, before the framers show up, before any vertical work happens, the site has to be right. That's where Blair Excavation Inc. comes in. We handle the full scope of excavation and sitework in Lakewood, IL and the greater Chicago area — clearing, grading, trenching, and shaping sites so the work that follows goes smoothly.

We work with homeowners, general contractors, and builders. No matter the scale — a single utility trench or a full multi-acre site prep — we bring the right equipment, the right crew, and the right attention to detail.

Excavation & sitework services

• Site preparation — clearing, stripping topsoil, and shaping the pad for new construction.
• Rough & finish grading — getting elevations and slopes right for drainage and buildability.
• Trenching — water, sewer, electric, gas, and communication line trenches.
• Land clearing — brush removal, rough clearing, stump pull.
• Backfill & compaction — engineered fill placed and compacted to spec.
• Drainage work — swales, French drains, and yard drainage correction.
• Demolition support — excavation tied to small demo and removal work.

Sitework for builders & GCs

If you're a builder or GC working in the greater Chicago area, we'll work on your schedule and hit the elevations your plans call for. Clean sites. Good communication. Crews that don't hold up framing.

Sitework for homeowners

If you're a homeowner tackling a drainage problem, adding a shed or garage pad, putting in a pool, or regrading a wet yard, we'll talk through what's actually needed and give you a straight quote. No oversell, no mystery charges.
