Suquamish Excavation & Trenching

Opening ground in Suquamish

Beach deposits near the dock is the whole story of digging here. The mini excavator handles what shovels can't, and where the work is against a foundation or in a root zone on waterfront lots on Agate Pass, shovels handle what the machine shouldn't. It fits a standard gate and works slopes near Augusta Avenue.

We've seen water surfacing downhill of the break on larger lots off Totten Road near the Suquamish Dock and a soft spot in a driveway near the pass by Chief Seattle's grave. Both times the line was poly along Totten Road, the ground was clay seams along Agate Pass, and the fix was excavation and trenching done once.

Spoils on tarps or plywood, never on the lawn of parcels along Augusta Avenue. Tracks on protection over clay seams along Agate Pass. Trench walls watched. Small things that add up to a Suquamish yard near the Suquamish Dock that looks like itself after excavation and trenching.

Excavation for electricians, waterproofing contractors and builders is regular Suquamish work. We bring the machine, pumps and plywood, open what's needed through beach deposits near the dock, and put larger lots off Totten Road back: grade, rake, seed, gravel, bark, pavers.

Suquamish ground conditions

Till with clay seams at the shore, dense hardpan on the uplands. We're on the Kitsap side and we answer around the clock.

Compaction equipment and plywood ground protection and come on every excavation and trenching trip to Suquamish, along with pumps, because till under the village grid on larger lots off Totten Road decides whether a pit is an hour or a morning.

How the dig goes

A excavation and trenching visit to Suquamish runs: backfill in lifts, then restore, then open the ground. The middle step is where hardpan on the uplands toward Indianola and parcels along Augusta Avenue set the pace, and compaction equipment is what gets it done near Chief Seattle's grave.

Scope for excavation and trenching here is three things: ground (hardpan on the uplands toward Indianola), lot (small village lots near Suquamish Way), pipe (newer lines near the casino). The gear is the same each trip, compaction equipment included, and we say which of the three is driving the day before we start near Agate Pass.

Homes near the Suquamish Dock date from mid-century village homes ringed by 1970s-to-2000s construction, which usually means poly along Totten Road. Add clay seams along Agate Pass and larger lots off Totten Road, and water surfacing downhill of the break is how most people end up needing excavation and trenching.
