Site prep · grading · trenching

Dirt moved
on schedule,
graded to plan.

Twenty-six years of excavation for builders, developers and homeowners. Pads, basements, driveways, ponds, storm and sewer. We shoot our own grades and hit them.

Building pads & basements

Strip, cut, fill and compact to engineer's spec, with compaction testing and a stamped as-built.

Grading & drainage

Rough and finish grade, swales, French drains, dry wells and regrading yards that hold water.

Trenching & utilities

Water, sewer, storm, electric and gas laterals. Locates called, trenches shored, backfill compacted in lifts.

Driveways & gravel roads

Base prep for asphalt and concrete, plus crowned gravel drives with culverts and geotextile where it is needed.

Ponds & earthworks

Farm ponds, detention basins, berms and retaining walls, keyed and clay-lined so they hold.

Demolition & haul-off

Slabs, outbuildings, old septic and pools removed, with concrete crushed and recycled where we can.

Our own iron, our own operators

Because we own the fleet, we are not waiting on a rental yard when the weather opens up. Machines are serviced in-house every 250 hours.

• Excavators, 3.5 t to 35 t6
• Dozers with GPS blade control2
• Skid steers & compact loaders3
• Tandem dump trucks & lowboy3

“They were on site the Monday they said, and the pad was ready for footings Wednesday. That never happens.”

“Our back yard drowned every spring. They cut two swales and a dry well and it has been dry for three years.”

“Bid was line-itemed and the final invoice matched it. Their operator caught a mis-marked gas line before anyone dug.”
