Excavation & Dirt Work.
Every successful project starts with proper groundwork. Whether preparing for new construction, improving drainage, or reshaping property access, excavation requires careful planning, precision equipment operation, and attention to long-term performance.
Dirt Work with Precision.
At Pace Contracting, we approach excavation and dirt work with the same philosophy that guides all of our services: Do it once. Do it right. Because what happens below the surface often determines how well everything above it performs.
Michigan Site Preparation & Excavation.
Proper preparation sets the foundation for successful construction. We provide excavation services for residential and property in Upper Michigan for improvement projects both large and small.
Our Michigan-based services include:
New construction site preparation
Garage and pole building excavation
Foundation and footing preparation
Shed and accessory building pads
Land clearing and grading
We focus on accurate grading and stable preparation to help prevent settling or drainage issues later.
Projects Begin Below the Surface.
Water management is one of the most important — and often overlooked — parts of property improvement. Improper grading can lead to foundation damage, pooling water, or erosion. Our grading services help direct water away from structures and improve long-term property performance.
Services include:
Yard leveling and grading
Drainage correction
Water runoff management
Surface reshaping
Erosion prevention
Our work in thoughtful grading helps protect both your investment and your landscape.
Driveways, Access & Property Improvements.
Access areas need to handle daily use and Michigan’s changing weather conditions.
We provide dirt work and preparation services designed to create durable, functional surfaces for:
Driveway preparation and reshaping
Gravel and access road preparation
Equipment access areas
Property expansion projects
Careful base preparation helps prevent rutting, shifting, and long-term maintenance issues for your Upper Peninsula property.
Built for Local Conditions.
Upper Peninsula soil conditions and weather patterns require experience. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and snow melt all impact how land settles and drains.
Our local Michigan knowledge allows us to focus on:
Proper compaction
Drainage planning
Stable base preparation
Long-term durability
The goal isn’t just to complete the job — it’s to ensure the results hold up season after season.
Precision Equipment Operation.
Excavation work requires accuracy as much as power. We take pride in operating equipment carefully to protect surrounding structures, landscaping, and property features.
Our customers can expect:
Clean and organized job sites
Respect for surrounding property
Careful planning before digging begins
Efficient timelines without rushing critical steps
We move Carefully
