Excavating Services for Site Preparation, Grading & Drainage
At Ronnie C. Folk we know the work under the asphalt matters just as much as the finished surface. A driveway, parking area, or paved surface will not hold up the way it should if the ground is not prepared the right way first.
We have been helping homeowners, businesses, industrial properties, and municipalities since 1973. Our team handles excavation, grading, stone installation, drainage work, stormwater management, and site preparation before paving.
We are a family-owned company with experienced crews and the equipment needed to get the job done right. Whether you are putting in a new driveway or preparing a larger paved area, we can help you start with a solid base.
Professional Driveway Excavation Services
A good driveway starts with proper excavation. Before we pave, we make sure the area is prepared the right way. That may mean removing old material, correcting soft spots, adding stone, compacting the base, or improving drainage.
We do not just cover up problems. We look at the condition of the ground and how water moves across the area. This helps us prepare the driveway so the finished surface has the support it needs.
Many people know us for commercial paving, but we also do residential work. If you need a new driveway, driveway replacement, or excavation before paving, our team can help.

Driveway Grading for a Stronger, Longer-Lasting Surface
Grading plays a big role in how long a driveway lasts. If the slope is not right, water can sit on the surface or wash out the base underneath. Over time, that can lead to cracks, low spots, and other problems.
Our crew can grade or regrade your driveway to help water run off in the right direction. We also shape and compact the base so it is ready for paving.
With more than 50 years in business, we know how important prep work is. Many of our crew members have been with us for 15 to 20 years, so you get a team that understands what to look for before the asphalt goes down.
