Unrivaled Regional Soil Expertise

Northeast Kansas terrain is unpredictable. Executing earthwork that actually lasts requires deep, localized knowledge of the ground beneath our boots. From the stubborn, expansive gumbo clay in Topeka and Lawrence to the rocky limestone sub-strata out in Manhattan, we know exactly how local soils behave under pressure and weather.

We don’t cut corners. We optimize our cuts, compaction, and grading specifically for your property’s exact soil profile. That means building pads that stay level, ponds that actually hold water, and driveways that withstand heavy machinery and local freeze-thaw cycles.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great work from a solid and honest company.  Luke didn't let the extreme Kansas heat stop him from doing the job including one day of over 12 hours. Follow up contact to make sure the job was done to satisfaction is customer service many companies don't do. He even did extra work that he saw that just needed done and picked up trash that had blown onto the property.  He cares not only about the job but his customers and Kansas lands!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KPS Excavation removed trees and vegetation from the back of our property. The clearing enhanced the view of our stream and allowed us to plant wildflowers and create meadow. Luke was great to work with and would highly recommend Luke.
