We clear, level, and prep your land for construction. Whether you're building a home, garage, or commercial space, we handle the groundwork so your foundation goes in clean and level. No surprises, no shortcuts.

Proper grading prevents water problems before they start. We shape your property to drain correctly, protect your foundation, and create usable space. Years of experience mean we get the slope right the first time.

We dig footings to exact specs for residential and commercial foundations. Precision matters when you're building something permanent. We work with your timeline and keep the site ready for your concrete crew.

I spent 14 years in construction but worked 18-hour days and traveled weekly. When I saw local demand for quality excavation in Sioux Falls and my hometown, I started Rayman Enterprises in 2020. Now I do work I'm proud of and actually see my family.
We own our machines—no rental delays or excuses. When we schedule your job, the equipment rolls. That means your project stays on track instead of waiting on a subcontractor or rental availability.
