Wray's has been providing excavation services in Southwest Michigan since 1968. Basements, driveways, site prep, pool work, and more – excavated, graded, and finished by the same crew and equipment we use for septic installations. One call, one contractor, from start to finish.
Basement digs and driveway excavation account for most of our work, split between existing properties and new construction. Beyond those, our excavation services include:
If you're not sure whether your project fits, call and describe what you're working with. Our experienced crew does it all.
Before any dirt moves, we visit the site. We set grade, establish elevation, and map out where spoil goes and where equipment will run. That visit also surfaces what blueprints and surveys don't always show: buried utilities, property line questions, and soil conditions that affect the job.
Soil matters more than most customers expect. Heavier soils require additional bank-run (gravel and fill material brought in to make sure the ground holds up through construction). We assess that on the front end so it doesn't become a problem mid-job.
When the job is done, we grade the site. Building and driveway permits are the homeowner's or general contractor's responsibility before work begins. A soil erosion permit is required if the project falls within 500 feet of a body of water or disturbs more than one acre of land. We can assist with soil erosion, sewer lines, and septic permits.

Most of our excavation services connect directly to a septic installation. A typical new construction job covers the basement dig, driveway, and septic system, all completed by one crew. When a job runs more than a day, our equipment stays on site. No coordinating pickup and drop-off between contractors. No gap between the excavation finishing and the septic work beginning.
Customers who split that work across two contractors end up managing the scheduling themselves. That usually means missed time from work and delays when the two crews don't line up. We own our equipment, so if a job runs longer than expected, your project keeps moving.
We have builders who come back to us job after job. They trust the work. On the excavation side, that typically means basement digs, driveway excavation, back-fill, and final grade, covered by one crew rather than parceled out across multiple site prep contractors.
We work year-round and cover commercial and residential excavation across Allegan, Barry, Kalamazoo, and VanBuren Counties.
Most jobs start with a phone call. Describe your property and what you're trying to accomplish, and we'll tell you how we can help. From start to finish.
