AE Excavation LLC

Drainage, excavation and concrete across Montgomery County since 2014. Formerly Allied Exterior. Owner led, which means the person who scopes your job is the person running the crew on it.

We started with drainage and never stopped

Most of the work in this county comes back to the same thing. Gulf Coast clay does not absorb water, so it has to be moved, and almost every problem a property owner calls about is really a question of where the water goes.

That is why the work expanded the way it did. Drainage led to excavation, because you cannot correct a grade without moving soil. Excavation led to concrete, because a slab placed over a subgrade that holds water will not last however good the pour is.

The three trades are quoted separately by most companies. We do them as one scope, in the right order, which is usually why the result holds up.

How we work

None of this is complicated. It is mostly a matter of doing the parts nobody sees properly.

The person who quotes the job is the person who runs it

Grade and water flow get assessed before anything is priced

Written scope, so what was agreed is what gets built

Drainage, excavation and concrete coordinated as one sequence

We tell you when the cheaper fix is the right one

WHAT WE HANDLE

Residential and commercial

Residential drainage and yard correction, commercial site drainage and detention, excavation and site prep, grading, utility trenching, demolition and removal, and concrete flatwork for both. We coordinate with general contractors, civil engineers and property managers on commercial work.

HOW WE PRICE

Why we will not quote over the phone

It is not a sales tactic. It is that the four things which decide the number are not visible from an address.

01

Where the water actually sits

A photo after rain tells us more than a description does, and a dry site tells us almost nothing.

02

Which way the ground falls

Falls of an inch or two decide the whole design and cannot be judged by eye from a driveway.

03

Where it can legally discharge

A drain needs an outlet. Whether one exists changes the scope completely.

04

Access for machines

What can physically reach the work decides the method, and the method decides the price.

What we will tell you that others might not

When the cheaper fix is the right one. A downspout extension that costs very little sometimes solves most of a problem that would otherwise be quoted as a full drainage scheme.

When the job is not ours. If what you actually need is a plumber or a foundation engineer, we would rather say so than take the work and find out halfway through.

When the timing is wrong. Drainage installed in the middle of a drought is guesswork, because nobody can see where water goes. Sometimes waiting for rain produces a better system.

It is a small county and most of our work arrives by word of mouth, which only keeps happening if the advice is straight.

No. Drainage, excavation and concrete are all done by our own crews, which is why the grade and the slab agree with each other.

That was the original name when the work included landscaping and sprinklers. The focus moved to drainage, excavation and concrete, and the name followed.
