Excavation & sitework · Footings
Footings & foundations, then the build.
Footings & foundations for additions, garages, shops, decks & outbuildings, excavated to the plans. GeothermalKC can form & pour the concrete & build the structure, so the project moves from dig to finished building without changing contractors.
Digging to the drawings
Footing work is precise. Widths, depths & elevations come from the plans, & the trench needs clean, undisturbed bottoms for the concrete. GeothermalKC crews dig to those numbers, then form & pour, so the schedule does not wait on a second contractor.
Where the soil or depth needs more than compact equipment can do, the consultation says so, not dig day.
One company from the first dig to the finished build, with compact excavation equipment suited to tight residential access, for projects across the Kansas City metro & surrounding counties.
What the work includes
- Footing trenches for additions, garages & shops
- Pier & post holes where the plans call for them
- Shallow foundation excavation for outbuildings
- Spoil handling on site or hauled away
- Backfill & rough grade after the foundation is complete

Common questions
Does GeothermalKC pour the footings?
Yes. GeothermalKC digs the footings, forms & pours them, & carries on with the structure. Inspections are scheduled as the local jurisdiction requires.
Can a compact excavator dig a full basement?
Full basement excavation for a new house usually needs larger equipment than a compact excavator. GeothermalKC focuses on footings, piers & shallow foundations for additions & outbuildings.
What does a footing project need to start?
Stamped or approved plans with footing dimensions & depths, the site address & the builder or concrete schedule.
