Why Plano Projects Need Specialized Excavation Expertise

Plano sits on some of the most challenging soil in Texas. The expansive clay that defines Collin County swells when wet and shrinks when dry, creating significant foundation and drainage risks. Without proper excavation techniques and grading, your site can face settling, shifting, and costly delays.

Add to that Plano’s rapid development pace, major projects like the Texas Research Quarter, Aligned Data Center, and ongoing Legacy West expansions, and you need a contractor who can move fast while maintaining precision.

Plano-specific challenges we solve:

Expansive clay soil stabilization and compaction
Drainage systems designed for Collin County’s storm patterns
Coordination with Plano’s municipal utility standards
Fast turnaround for high-demand commercial and residential timelines

When I say these guys are the real deal, they are the REAL deal, I had contacted 5 different excavation companies to come grate and level my impound yard, I got ridiculous quotes from them , and when I finally spoke to the boys at Kitching & Co I was relieved to finally hear some honest numbers, not only are these guys good but there turn around time is shocking, there workers are super respectful and coordinated with me for moving cars around when the team arrived and were very patient, I highly HIGHLY recommend them for all your hardscaping and excavation needs!!

I recently contacted Kitching&Co. to quote a complete overhaul on my backyard landscaping. Blake was super responsive and professional and came out to assess the job quickly. Pricing was fair and they weren’t pushy at all and willing to work with whatever requests I had. I highly recommend giving them a call for any job you have big or small. Looking forward to working with them.
