What We Do

Excavation Services We Provide in Central Missouri

01

Building Pads

Your build starts with solid ground — and we make sure you get it. From homes to shops and sheds, we shape, level, and compact your site so you're ready to build without delays.

02

Driveway Excavation

A rough, washed-out driveway slows everything down. We clear, grade, and prep your drive to handle heavy traffic and Central Missouri weather — done right the first time.

03

Grading

Proper grading keeps water flowing where it should. We handle precision dirt work — shaping, leveling, and smoothing ground for drainage, erosion control, and site prep.

04

Culvert Installation

The right culvert protects your roads and land from washouts and standing water. We install, replace, and repair culverts fast — done right, every time.

05

Basement Excavation

Your home's strength starts below ground. We dig clean, solid basements built to stand up to Missouri soil and weather — with no surprises from start to finish.

06

Site Prep

No matter what you're building, it starts with a clean, level site. We clear, grade, and prep your ground so your crew can move without delays or headaches.

Land Clearing

Overgrown brush and stubborn trees won't slow you down. We clear land fast, clean, and ready for whatever's next — no mess, no excuses, just usable space.

Brush Hogging

Heavy brush and wild growth slowing you down? Our brush hogging knocks it down fast — clearing fields, fence lines, and overgrown lots so your land stays safe and usable.

  • Are you licensed and insured for excavation work?

    Yes. Hoover's Bobcat Service is fully licensed and insured in Missouri. You can ask to see our credentials when we come out — we have nothing to hide.

  • How quickly can you start my excavation project?

    Same-week starts are frequently available depending on project size and our current schedule. When you call, we'll give you an honest answer on timing — not a vague 'we'll get to it.'

  • Do you handle both residential and commercial excavation?

    Yes. We work on homes, shops, barns, commercial buildings, driveways, basements, building pads, and more. If it involves moving earth in Central Missouri, we do it.

  • What equipment does Hoover's Bobcat use?

    We operate bobcats, excavators, dump trucks, and brush hogs to handle a wide range of earthmoving, land clearing, and site prep work. Our equipment is maintained and ready to work.

  • Can you handle land clearing and excavation on the same project?

    Absolutely. Many of our projects combine land clearing, grading, and excavation in a single scope. You won't need to hire multiple contractors — we handle it start to finish.

  • What is the difference between grading and excavation?

    Excavation involves digging and removing earth — for basements, building pads, trenches, and culverts. Grading focuses on shaping and leveling the existing ground for drainage, foundations, and site prep. Most large projects involve both.
