Lindsley provides foundation excavation, building-pad preparation, aggregate placement and backfill for residential and commercial projects. Foundation plans, elevations and the specified soil and fill requirements establish the scope.
Based in Fulton, serving Central New York. Send your project address to confirm travel, scope and crew availability.
Finished-floor elevation, footing elevations, basement limits and existing grades determine the excavation. Show working room, access and any nearby structures. A building footprint alone does not establish excavation depth, soil export or the volume of structural fill.
Footing drains, sub-slab drainage, stone layers and radon-system groundwork should be identified from the building plans. Clarify outlet locations and the work of the foundation, plumbing and radon contractors. The estimate should show what Lindsley installs and where another trade takes over.
Share the fill specification, lift requirements and testing arrangements. Backfill against foundations must be coordinated with the building contractor’s construction sequence. For manufactured homes or specialized pads, provide the approved designer or manufacturer requirements rather than relying on a generic pad section.
Foundation depth, soil bearing requirements, groundwater, working room and spoil handling affect excavation cost. Concrete, foundation walls and engineering are separate unless specifically included in the proposal.
| Work area | Items to include in the request | Confirm before construction |
|---|---|---|
| Excavation | Footing, basement and working-room limits | Foundation drawings and elevations |
| Building pad | Specified aggregate and fill placement | Geotechnical requirements and testing |
| Drainage groundwork | Footing and sub-slab scope shown on the plans | Outlet, materials and trade responsibilities |
| Backfill | Coordinated material placement around the foundation | Building-contractor release and sequence; concrete separate |
For your estimate
New concrete is a separate scope unless expressly included. We define excavation, aggregate, drainage and backfill items in the proposal.
Yes. Send the drain layout, elevations, outlet detail and material specification so it can be priced as a defined item.
Central New York and regional project inquiries are reviewed for scope, travel and scheduling. These are service areas; our business address is in Fulton, and this is not a separate branch office.
Send the location, drawings, scope and target dates to Shawn. Call Monday–Friday, 7 a.m.–5 p.m. Pricing and availability are confirmed after project review.
