Southern Grind Solutions does excavation and dirt work for homeowners and landowners around Broxton and Coffee County. We dig with an excavator. The work covers trenches, drainage ditches, culverts and footings. Small dig jobs are welcome, and so is the dirt work on a whole lot.
Much of our excavation is one part of a bigger job on the same lot. Digging for the tank and the drain field lines is part of our septic tank installation. When a new house is going in, the dirt work falls under site preparation. Before any digging, we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Water that stands on a lot after every rain needs a path to lower ground. A drainage ditch gives it that path. We dig the ditch and slope its bottom toward the low end. If brush has taken over the ditch line, land clearing opens it up first.
Where a ditch has to pass under a lane or a field crossing, a culvert carries the water through. We set the culvert pipe in the ditch line and pack dirt back over it. Trenches are part of the work too. Tell us what the trench is for and how long and deep it needs to be.
We dig footings to the size and depth on your plans. Concrete work is another trade, so the pour goes to a concrete contractor.
Georgia law requires a Georgia 811 locate request before mechanized digging. That covers digging on a farm too, because the law's farm exception is only for tilling fields. After the request goes in, the utilities mark the approximate path of their lines in colored spray paint.
Those marks cover public utility lines only. Georgia 811 says private lines are the property owner's responsibility. Power run out to a barn and the lines to a septic system are two examples. Georgia 811 tells homeowners to hire a private locator for those.
An existing septic system needs care too. Georgia's septic rules say later grading or digging that may harm an approved system voids that approval. So show us where the tank and the drain field sit, and we plan the dig around them.
Around Broxton, the NRCS soil survey maps sandy soils on both high and low ground. Higher spots include Tifton loamy sand, which is well drained. Its water table sits about four and a half feet down from January through March.
The low flats are another story. Pelham loamy sand, a poorly drained soil, is the most widespread in the survey that covers Coffee County. Its water table can sit within about 6 inches of the surface from January through April. On ground like that, a built-up mobile home pad lets rain drain away from under the home.
OSHA's trench rules say granular soil like sand has no cohesive strength. They put loamy sand in Type C, the same class as soil with water seeping from it. So a trench wall in sand can crumble, and a hole dug in a wet flat can fill with water. That is why we look at the soil and the season before we plan a dig.

Georgia law requires a Georgia 811 locate request before mechanized digging, so buried lines get marked first. Then the clearing, the septic dig, the dirt work or the teardown begins.
On a septic job, Georgia's rules keep the system uncovered until the county's final inspection and written approval. Then we backfill and rough grade, and every job ends with the site cleaned up.
