Mini Bobcat & Mini Excavator Service in the Baltimore & DC Metros
Compact excavation for sewer lines, drainage, and tight-access digs.
What is mini bobcat & mini excavator service?
Our mini excavator and compact Bobcat handle the digging behind sewer, drainage, and waterproofing work — sewer and drain line dig-outs and replacements, French-drain and downspout trenching, and exterior foundation excavation. Compact equipment fits through narrow gates and tight side yards where full-size machines can't go, with far less disruption to your property.
Before any dig we arrange a Miss Utility (811) locate so gas, water, and electric lines are marked, and we pull the permits the job requires. When the work is done, we backfill and restore the surface per the agreed scope.

Frequently asked questions
What excavation work do you do?
Sewer and drain line dig-outs and replacements, drainage trenching (French drains, downspout lines), exterior waterproofing excavation, and related digging with our mini excavator.
Can a mini excavator fit in a tight backyard or through a gate?
Yes — that's the advantage of a mini excavator. It fits through narrow gates and tight side yards where full-size equipment can't, with less disruption.
Will excavation tear up my lawn or driveway?
Any dig disturbs the surface, but a mini excavator minimizes the footprint. We backfill and restore the area and can discuss final grading and finish restoration as part of the job.
Do you locate underground utilities before digging?
Always. We arrange a Miss Utility (811) locate before any excavation so gas, water, electric, and other lines are marked. It's required by law in Maryland and it protects you and us.
Do I need a permit for excavation or a sewer replacement?
Many sewer and drainage jobs require a permit. We pull the required permits as part of the job and advise you on what's needed.
How deep can you dig?
It depends on the machine and site conditions. Our mini excavator handles typical residential sewer and drainage depths; we'll confirm feasibility during the estimate.
Do you do trenching for French drains and yard drainage?
Yes — we trench and install drainage systems to move water away from your foundation and low spots in the yard.
