Cicero’s Excavation Contractor
Owner-operated excavation in Cicero, IN: forestry mulching, drainage, driveways, site prep and more, with the owner on every job from first cut to final grade.
Excavation done right in Cicero
Short Excavating serves Cicero, IN as part of our work throughout Hamilton County, IN along with nearby Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville. From a homeowner who needs a driveway built or a wet yard drained to a contractor developing a site, the work in Cicero gets the same hands-on attention: the owner walks the property, sets the plan to your ground, runs the equipment himself, and checks the work as it goes in.
Whether the customer in Cicero is a homeowner or a builder, the problems that come from rushed excavation look about the same: standing water where it should drain, and ground that sinks under something heavy. Avoiding them is mostly a matter of doing the unglamorous steps every single time. The owner holds the slope and compacts as he goes, and he does it himself so nothing gets skipped.
From the first call to final cleanup, a job in Cicero runs through one person. The owner answers the questions, walks the property, sets the price and runs the machine, so nothing gets lost between a salesman and a crew. He worked for other excavating outfits for years before going out on his own, and he set the company up so he would always be the one standing behind the work.

Cicero is part of Hamilton County, IN, within Short Excavating’s roughly 120-mile range out of Fort Wayne. We are set up to bring our equipment to Cicero for residential and commercial work.
Common projects in Cicero
Residential work in Cicero covers a lot of ground. Some calls are about a soggy backyard that needs drainage or a French drain, and others are about an overgrown piece of property ready for forestry mulching or full land clearing. We also build driveways from the base up and do final grading once a new house is finished.
Builders and developers in Cicero use us for the ground work under their projects: site prep and building pads first, then utilities, with demolition when an old structure is in the way and full site development when they want one contractor handling the dirt from start to finish. The owner keeps all of it on one schedule.
Whatever the project, the value of hiring an owner-operated excavator for work in Cicero is simple: one person knows your job, runs the equipment, and answers for the result. You are not chasing a crew or a project manager. You are talking to the man who did the work.
Done right, the first time.
Good excavation is hard to see once it is finished. The owner checks it while it is still open, before anything gets covered.
Why hire a careful excavator in Cicero
Most excavation problems do not show up on the day the machine leaves. They show up months later, after a few hard rains or a winter of freezing and thawing, when a yard starts holding water or a driveway starts to sink in spots. By then the original contractor has moved on, and whoever comes to fix it has to dig out the bad work before doing the good work. That means paying for the same job twice, plus the cost of tearing out the first attempt.
Customers in Cicero get an owner who treats their property like his own. That shows in calls nobody else would catch, like taking the time to tunnel under a sidewalk instead of cutting through it, or working carefully around the utilities already in the ground. It shows in what gets left behind too, which is a graded, cleaned-up site and work that keeps doing its job long after the equipment is gone.
If you have a project in Cicero, the next step is simple. Call the owner, tell him what you are dealing with, and he will come out, look at the ground, and give you a straight number.

Yes, drainage is one of the things we are known for. The owner traces where the water is coming from and builds the fix to last, with proper slope, stone bedding, gasketed pipe and cleanouts.

Known for drainage that lasts
Drainage is the work customers point to when they recommend Short Excavating, and the method is why. The owner holds a true slope over long runs, uses gasketed SDR35 pipe that roots have a hard time getting into, sets cleanouts at regular spacing, and will tunnel under a sidewalk or work around existing utilities to get the line where it needs to go. The customer who had it done said he will never have drainage problems again.
Plenty of jobs have nothing to do with drainage. In Cicero, an overgrown lot might need forestry mulching before anything else, and a new build needs site prep and often a driveway built from the base up. Those customers get the same owner on the machine and the same attention to base and compaction that made the drainage work worth talking about.
