The problem
Where most excavation sites fall short
Most excavation sites are a logo, a list of services and a phone number. The customer still has to call, wait and ask how much. You still have to stop work and do the math.
People who need dirt, gravel or grading want a price and a day. If your site gives them both, they have no reason to call three other outfits.
What it costs you
- 01Every load gets priced on the phone, one call at a time
- 02Deposits, balances and rain days all live in your head
- 03With no real site, Google sends people to a Facebook page
On the phone
What people search, and what they do next
People who need dirt, gravel or grading search on a phone, often while standing on the spot where the work will go.
They search: fill dirt delivery near me
They want a delivered price today. Not a call back tomorrow.
They search: how much fill dirt do I need
They know the length and width but not the yards or tons. A calculator answers that for them.
They search: gravel delivery cost
They compare by the load. A price on the screen beats a voicemail.
They search: grading contractor near me
They look for photos of real jobs and whether you work in their town.
They search: land clearing maiden nc
They check your service area. If their town is not on it, they move on.
What I build
What an excavation site has to do
I build the site to quote the job for you. The customer picks a material and enters an address. The site works out the driving distance and the delivered price. A deposit holds the day, and the balance gets paid when the load is down.
- 01
Price the load from an address
The customer picks a material and how much, then types the address. The site measures the real driving distance and shows the delivered price.
- 02
Turn feet into yards and tons
Length, width and depth go in. Yards of dirt or tons of gravel come out, already priced.
- 03
Say where you go
A service area check tells people if you come out to them, and each town you work gets its own page.
- 04
Take a deposit to hold the day
The deposit is paid on the site. The day is held, and you are not left waiting on someone who never shows.
- 05
Get the balance paid in the yard
Send a pay link from your phone or show a QR code. The customer signs on their phone and the receipt goes out by itself.
- 06
Move a rain day all at once
Wet day? Move every job on it in one go, and each customer with an email gets told.
- 07
Send the reminders for you
Day before reminders, balance reminders and review requests go out on their own.
- 08
Take the big jobs as requests
Clearing, grading, concrete and demo come in with the details. You type a price and the site makes the pay link.

Real build · Maiden, NC
What I built for Smith Mine
Smith Mine is Matt Smith's excavation, fill dirt and grading business in Maiden, NC. He had no website, and every load got priced over the phone.
- Customers pick a material, say how much and enter an address. The site prices the load with delivery, from the real driving distance to the pit.
- A calculator turns length, width and depth into yards of dirt or tons of gravel.
- A $100 deposit holds the day.
- When the date is set, Matt sends the balance as a pay link from his phone, or shows a QR code so the customer pays in the yard.
- The customer signs on the phone when the load is down, and a PDF receipt goes out by itself.
- Day before reminders, balance reminders, review requests and quote follow ups all run on their own.
- Matt moves a whole rain day at once, and everyone on it with an email is told.
- 14 service pages, 7 town pages and 143 real photos of his own work.

Questions
Straight answers
Can the site really price a load by itself?
Yes. You set your material and delivery prices. The site measures the driving distance from your pit to the address and does the math.
What if a job is too big to price online?
Clearing, grading, demo and concrete come in as a request with the details. You look it over, type a price, and the site makes the pay link.
How do deposits work?
The customer pays a deposit on the site to hold the day. The rest gets paid when the job is done, by pay link or QR code.
What happens when it rains?
You move every job on that day at once. Each customer with an email hears about the new day, so you are not making call after call.
I am not a computer person. Can I run this?
Yes. It runs from your phone. Today's jobs, who still owes and who is waiting on a call are all on one screen.
Can I change my own prices and photos?
Yes. Prices, words, photos and town pages all change from your phone, and an old save can be put back if you make a mistake.
Do we have to meet at a job site?
No. We talk by phone, text and screenshare. Send me your prices, your materials and photos of your work, and I build from that.
What does a site like Smith Mine's cost?
A plain site starts at $795. A site that prices loads, takes deposits and has your own dashboard is the Business System, from $3,495. Exact quote in your proposal.
