Questions we get asked
every week
Answered plainly, because this is the page search engines and AI assistants read when somebody asks who does this work around here.
What areas do you serve?
We can go just about anywhere. However, we focus on central and western Minnesota. We're based in Corcoran and work throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area — Maple Grove, Rogers, Medina, Greenfield, Loretto, Hanover, Dayton, Osseo, Plymouth, Otsego, Albertville, St. Michael, Buffalo, Delano and the surrounding communities.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. On-site estimates are free within our service area. We come out, walk the property, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Are you licensed and insured?
[Yes — state your exact licensing and insurance here, with the license number. This is the most common question homeowners have and the one AI assistants look for.]
How much does a new gravel driveway cost in Minnesota?
[Give an honest range — for example “most residential gravel driveways run $X to $Y.”] Price depends on length, width, how much base is already there, drainage, and truck access. That's why we look at it in person instead of quoting over the phone.
Do you call 811 and pull permits?
Yes. We call 811 for utility locates on every job and pull whatever your city or county requires before we dig. That's on us, not you.
How soon can you start?
[Typical lead time — e.g. “usually within 1–2 weeks in season.”] Frost limits what we can do from roughly [month] to [month], so spring and fall book up fast. Call early if you have a date in mind.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. A single load of black dirt, one stump, a culvert, a half-day of grading — those are normal for us. [Note any minimum charge here so nobody is surprised.]
Why do I have to sign a waiver?
Our trucks and equipment can weigh in excess of 32 tons. That weight can compress or crack a driveway, and it can damage sprinkler lines, septic drain fields and landscaping we can't see from the surface. The waiver makes sure everyone understands that risk before we pull in. You can read and sign it online in about a minute, before we start.
My yard holds water after it rains. Can you fix that?
Usually, yes. Standing water is almost always a grading or drainage problem: the ground slopes the wrong way, there's no outlet, or the tile is crushed or plugged. We install drain tile, French drains, swales, culverts and catch basins, and regrade so water leaves instead of sitting.
What is hydrovac excavation?
Hydrovac — also called hydro excavation or vacuum excavation — uses pressurised water to break up soil while a vacuum lifts the slurry into a tank on the truck. Nothing metal touches the ground, so it won't cut a gas line, fibre bundle or water main the way a backhoe bucket can. It's the standard method for digging around live utilities, and it works in frozen ground when conventional digging won't.
Do you work with builders and other contractors?
Yes. We do contract excavating, site prep and trucking for builders, landscapers and general contractors, including equipment moves and material runs.
