A look at recent work completed across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

01

Custom Barn — Rayland, Ohio

Site Development / Underground Utilities / Concrete / Interior Build-Out

This project started from raw ground — cutting in a 3/4-mile access road and grading roughly 30,000 cubic yards of dirt to create the building pad. From there, our crew installed all underground utilities for the site, including water, gas, electric, sanitary, and storm drainage. We poured over 150 yards of concrete on the project, including stamped concrete finished to look like a wooden deck. Beyond the site work, our team also handled much of the interior build-out — electrical, carpentry, and finish work — including the barn wood accent walls we're especially proud of.

Bethany Foundation Project — Bethany, WV

Foundation Restoration / Waterproofing / Drainage / Site Restoration

Kidd Excavating completed a full foundation restoration focused on protecting the home from long-term water intrusion. The project included excavating around the existing foundation, applying a waterproofing system, installing a perimeter French drain to improve drainage, and backfilling with properly placed structural fill. After the foundation work was complete, the site was finish graded, topsoil was placed, and the lawn was restored with grass seed. The completed project provides improved drainage, enhanced foundation protection, and a clean, finished appearance that blends seamlessly with the surrounding property.

New Home Construction — Claysville, PA

Foundation / ICF / Underground Plumbing / Site Access

Kidd Excavating provided complete site and foundation services for this new 2,000-square-foot home in Claysville. The project included approximately 3,000 cubic yards of excavation for site preparation and foundation construction, followed by the installation of an ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) foundation. Our crew also installed a perimeter French drain system, completed the underground plumbing, and placed the concrete basement floor. To provide reliable access to the property, we constructed a 600-foot gravel driveway and poured concrete aprons for the basement garage entrances. From mass excavation and foundation work to final site access, Kidd Excavating delivered the essential groundwork to prepare the property for a successful home build.

Claysville Concrete Driveway & Hardscape — Claysville, PA

Concrete / Retaining Wall / Site Grading

Kidd Excavating transformed this property with a complete concrete and site improvement project. Our crew fine graded a 2,400-square-foot driveway, installed a properly compacted stone subbase, and placed more than 50 cubic yards of concrete for the driveway, sidewalks, and entry steps. The project also included construction of a dry-stack block retaining wall to improve both functionality and curb appeal. From precision site preparation to the finished concrete work, every phase was completed with a focus on durability, drainage, and long-term performance.

East Finley Pool Patio & Retaining Wall — East Finley, PA

Stamped Concrete / Retaining Wall / Drainage

Kidd Excavating completed a custom outdoor living project featuring a beautifully finished stamped concrete pool patio and a large retaining wall system. Our crew fine graded approximately 1,500 square feet of patio area, installed a properly compacted stone subbase, and placed over 40 cubic yards of stamped concrete for the pool patio and lower porch. The project also included construction of a 500-square-foot retaining wall, complete with foundation preparation, drainage installation, and engineered backfill to ensure long-term stability. The finished space combines lasting structural performance with an attractive, functional outdoor entertainment area.

Clearing & Grubbing — Rayland, OH

Clearing & Grubbing / Land Preparation

Kidd Excavating completed the clearing and grubbing of 3.5 acres to expand the property's usable farmland. The project involved removing trees, brush, stumps, and vegetation to prepare the site for agricultural use. All cleared material was safely disposed of in an approved on-site burn pit, leaving the property clean and ready for future farming operations. By transforming previously wooded ground into productive acreage, Kidd Excavating helped maximize the land's value while providing a clean, efficient finish ready for continued agricultural use.

Harvey Road Property Development

Site Development / Clearing / Access Road / Mass Excavation

Kidd Excavating completed the site development of this 80-acre property, beginning with the clearing and grubbing of 20 acres to prepare the initial phase for construction. The project included building a one-mile access road, complete with excavation, drainage improvements, stone placement, and compaction to provide durable, all-weather access throughout the site. Our crew also excavated two residential home pads, moving approximately 20,000 cubic yards of earth for each pad to establish the required grades and elevations. Once construction was complete, all disturbed areas were finish graded, seeded, and mulched to promote vegetation growth and provide long-term erosion control. The result was a well-prepared property with dependable infrastructure and two build-ready home sites.

Community Baseball Field Refurbishment — Tri-State Area

Community Project / Drainage / Underground Utilities

As a way of giving back to the community, our crew donated time and equipment to refurbish a local baseball field free of charge. The scope included regrading the infield and outfield to correct standing water issues, repairing underground utilities along the fence line, and installing new drainage to keep the field playable through the season. What started as a worn-out field was returned to the community ready for play.
