We pride ourselves on in the work we do for our customer\nClean Fence rows\nClear trees and shrubs on farms\nDo odd jobs with Excavator/Skid Loader\nBuild roadways\nDig footings\nDig basements\nHelped contractor with sports complex putting in drainage

1 of 4 driveways crossing deep creek
Start of extending pond and reshaping pond
Cleared about 4000' of trees and shrubs and old fence line
Culvert put in 4 and 4 new driveways . Reshaped the creek so if there is a flood it does not take out driveway and worked out great
About 350 dump truck loads hauled out and filled a large revine for customer. We leveled out revine and seeded down so they could build a large dog fence for dogs to run.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

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.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.
