What we do

Four kinds of dirt work
One crew for all of it

Most projects need more than one of these. Clearing a lot, taking down an old structure, digging the foundation and putting in the septic system can all happen with the same people and the same machines, with fewer handoffs and fewer delays.

  1. Excavation & Site Prep

    Getting a property ready for what comes next: digging footings and basements, cutting in pads, grading and trenching for utility lines.

    • Foundations
    • House & building pads
    • Grading
    • Trenching
  2. Septic System Installation

    Tank and drain-field installs for new homes and properties that aren't on city sewer. We'll walk you through what the job involves before anything gets dug.

    • New installs
    • Tanks
    • Drain fields
  3. Demolition

    Tearing down old houses, barns, sheds and outbuildings, then hauling off the debris so the site is clear and ready to reuse.

    • Houses
    • Barns & outbuildings
    • Debris removal
  4. Land Clearing

    Opening up overgrown or wooded ground (brush, trees and stumps) for a homesite, driveway, pasture or a usable yard.

    • Lots & homesites
    • Brush & trees
    • Overgrown acreage

Have a project that doesn't fit neatly in a box? Tell us about it. If it involves moving dirt, we'll let you know whether it's something we can take on.

Every job starts with a walk of the site

Tell us where the property is and what you want to end up with. We'll come look at the ground before quoting.
