When water pools under a lot instead of draining away from it, the base softens, the surface cracks, and pavement that should last 20 years fails in 5. Libs Paving assesses drainage before grading begins on every commercial project, installing the right combination of catch basins, culverts, trench drains, and storm structures to correct grade issues most paving companies miss entirely. As a standalone excavation contractor as well, we bring that same crew, equipment, and 55-year track record to site work that doesn’t involve paving.
Our grading and excavation contractor services support commercial projects across Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana. Property developers, general contractors, municipalities, and facility owners across industrial, retail, and institutional sectors rely on Libs Paving to prepare their sites for long-term pavement performance. If the job needs grading or drainage addressed first, we will handle it.
Our excavation and paving crews function as one integrated team, handling all the prepwork before any asphalt is laid. Having commercial excavation and final paving under one contract means none of these essential steps fall between the cracks.
Excavation is the removal of material from a site. Grading shapes the exposed subgrade to achieve proper drainage slope and elevation. Site preparation combines both, plus clearing and subbase work, to get a commercial site ready for paving or construction.
Both. We correct drainage issues on existing lots where water pooling is causing base softening and asphalt failure. This typically involves excavating to install proper drainage structures, correcting grade, and repaving the affected area. Drainage correction is often the root fix behind what looks like a straightforward resurfacing.
Yes. Excavation and paving crews operate as an integrated team, which means site prep, drainage installation, and final asphalt are managed under one contract and one point of contact. This eliminates the coordination gaps that come with hiring separate drainage contractors for each phase.
Our excavation contractor teams serve commercial properties around a 50-mile radius of our Southern Indiana plant, covering Greater Louisville, New Albany, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Sellersburg, and surrounding Kentuckiana communities. For excavation projects outside that range, contact the team to discuss scope.
