Excavation & Site Work

Site prep, cut and fill, rough and finish grading, hauling — the dirt work that has to be right before anything else on the job can be.

Driveway Installation & Regrading

New driveways built with a real base, and old ones brought back from potholes, washboard, and washouts.

Drainage & French Drains

Standing water in the yard, a wet basement wall every April, a driveway that turns into a creek — drainage is the fix, and it's a dirt job.

Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching

Overgrown lots, new building sites, lake views that disappeared behind twenty years of sumac and honeysuckle.

Foundation & Basement Excavation

New homes, additions, garages, and pole barns — dug to the engineer's depth, graded to the laser, backfilled so it never settles.

Septic System Excavation

New systems on rural lots, failed leach fields replaced, tanks set and connected — done to the engineer's design and the county's approval.

Trenching & Utility Lines

Water service to a new build, a sewer lateral that finally gave out, power to the barn or the dock — trenched to depth, bedded, and backfilled right.

Pond Digging & Excavation

Farm ponds, spring-fed swimming ponds, and cleaning out the one that's turned into a cattail marsh.

Lot Grading & Yard Leveling

Lumpy lawns, negative grade at the foundation, the low spot that won't dry — reshaped so water leaves and mowing is easy.

Retaining Walls & Slope Work

Boulder walls, block walls, and the excavation, base, and drainage that keep them standing on a lakefront slope.

Demolition & Removal

Collapsing barns, sheds past saving, old garages, in-ground pools, concrete slabs, and foundations that need to go before the new one goes in.

Gravel, Stone & Topsoil Delivery

By the load or by the yard, dumped or spread — the materials that go into every job we do, delivered to yours.
