Whether you're building a new foundation, grading for drainage, or clearing land for your next project — Schaul Excavating brings the experience, equipment, and honest hard work to get it done right.
What We Do
From the first dig to the final grade, we handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on what's being built on top of it.
Precise excavation for residential foundations, basements, and footings — laid out to your specs and ready for the concrete crew.
Proper grading directs water away from your structure and protects your investment. We handle re-grading, finish grading, and slope work.
Clearing, grubbing, and leveling — we prep the ground so your build starts clean, flat, and on schedule.
French drains, catch basins, and channel drains — we dig the trenches and install the systems that keep water where it belongs.
We set up and backfill around concrete forms for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and garage slabs — clean and accurate every time.
Storm damage, collapsed retaining walls, sudden drainage issues — we respond quickly when you need us most.
About Us
Schaul Excavating is a Marion-based excavation company serving the greater Cedar Rapids area. We specialize in residential and light commercial digging — foundations, grading, drainage, and site prep.
We're not a big operation that takes on more than it can handle. We take on what we can do well, show up on time, and leave the job site clean. That's the standard, every time.
