"Matthew did a land/home site clearing job for me and did an excellent job. Very professional and knowledgeable of the work that was performed. Excellent communication and updates of the job as it was being performed. I would highly recommend Marsh Clearing and Excavation. I would definitely use them for any future needs that I have for clearing , grading, or excavation needs that I have. Thanks Matthew- Great Job!"

"Everything was great! We lost our shop and part of our home several yrs ago to a house fire. We called Mr Greenway and he sprung into action immediately to see that everything was handled correctly. From the beginning till the keys were handed to us, he was more than willing to go out of his way for us. He explained each step of the construction process and made sure that we were happy with the way things were done. He was on time, efficient, and professional while very courteous. Have also used them @ our property in Fla. We would and have recommended him to other home owners. Even through the stress of the fire they put my mind at ease while giving me the kitchen I'd always dreamed of. Great job Brandon & Mrs. Greenway!"

"I am thrilled at the results. Brett arrived early and worked late. His powerful mulched ground up all the brush and hedges I had wanted to dig out. It would have taken me weeks to do what he did in 3 hours. The Bobcat with the mulched attached easily removed and shredded my small trees and weedy bushes. This is an industrial grade tool that has an in closed cab for a professional operator. It is relatively quiet and very safe. It has rubber tracks, so it didnâ t hurt my driveway. The experience was great and Brett was so nice and courteous. My wife is so proud and feels safer with the bushes removed (no critters lurking). This was a professional job. If you like to support people who work for themselves, as I do, this company will not disappoint. Also, Brett is a Marine, polite, tough and resourceful. I will use him again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.
