Farmstead Excavation & Septic in Garden Plain, KS
Baker Industries is the hometown excavating contractor for Garden Plain — farmstead pads, shop and barn pads, and rural septic for the acreages that surround town.
Garden Plain sits on US-54/400 between Goddard and Cheney, and it's the home base of Baker Industries. This is farm country — a mix of the town itself and the acreages, farmsteads, and rural home sites that spread out across Sedgwick County in every direction. The work we do here is the work we know best: turning raw ground into a level pad for a building, opening up a homesite, or putting in a septic system for a property that's never been on sewer.
Because we're local to Garden Plain, a lot of our jobs start with a neighbor's phone call and a quick drive out to look at the ground. You deal directly with the owner — the same person who looks at the site is the one who runs the equipment and finishes the job. There's no middle layer between your call and the work getting done.
Pads, Farmsteads & Rural Septic
Garden Plain jobs lean toward the rural side — building pads, farmstead dirt work, and septic for acreages. Here's where we focus.
Grading & Site Prep
Shop pads, barn pads, and machine-shed pads are a staple of our Garden Plain work. We cut to grade, set drainage slope, and leave a pad that's ready for concrete or a metal building.
Septic System Installation
Acreages around Garden Plain rely on septic, not sewer. We install systems for rural homes and new builds, starting with what the county requires for your property.
Excavation
Foundation digs, basement excavation, and backfill for homes and outbuildings — the general dirt work that turns a Garden Plain homesite into a build-ready lot.

Garden Plain — Questions We Hear
Is Baker Industries actually based in Garden Plain?
Yes. Garden Plain is our home base. We're an owner-operated company, so when you call about a job in town or out on the surrounding farm ground, you're talking to the owner directly.
Can you build a pad for a new shop or barn on my acreage?
We do. Shop and barn pads are a big part of what we do for Garden Plain acreages — we cut the pad to grade, set the slope, and leave a level, buildable surface ready for your building.
Do you install septic systems for rural properties around Garden Plain?
Yes. We install septic systems for homes and acreages that aren't on municipal sewer. The first step is confirming what Sedgwick County requires for your property before any digging starts.
What equipment do you run on Garden Plain jobs?
We run CAT compact track loaders and a JCB excavator. The track loaders handle pad building, backfill, and dirt moving; the excavator handles the tighter digging work like foundation cuts and septic excavation.
