"We couldn't be happier with the work they did for us! He completed our septic system, leach field, and slab preparation, but went above and beyond what we expected. Our property was very rough, full of rocks, stumps, brush, and bushes. He took the time to remove stumps and rocks, used the excavator (very skilled) to smooth out the entire property, built a beautiful rock wall using rocks dug from the property, and seeded and hayed the area. The transformation is incredible! Everything looks so nice, and we couldn't be more pleased with how our property turned out. It's not often you find someone who takes so much pride in their work and goes the extra mile to make sure everything looks great. We highly recommend him and would absolutely hire him again."

"The gentlemen who own and operate Dragonfire Excavation, outside of having a killer name, are extremely kind, personable, and professional. They treated my property with the same care they would treat their own, and were happy not only to assist me with the service that I needed, but also advise me on future services I inquired about. On top of all that, they were extremely understanding of budgetary constraints and have kept that in mind while offering me suggestions for other projects I inquired about. Absolutely would recommend working with them!"

"A few weeks ago, W.N. Madden Excavation came out to re-level and resurface a badly rutted and deteriorated driveway at a residential property. Wyatt made quick work of the project, leveling the existing surface before resurfacing it with ¾inch ledge stone. The finished driveway complements the home and surrounding property beautifully, and the entire job was completed in less than an hour. Wyatt is professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, and the quality of his work speaks for itself. I highly recommend W.N. Madden Excavation to anyone looking for dependable service and high-quality excavation and site work."

"We hired an Eastern Maine Excavation to address some drainage issues in our backyard, and we couldn't be happier with the results! They installed a retention pond, French drain, and regraded. Not only did they effectively solve the drainage problems, but they also transformed our backyard into a more functional and aesthetically pleasing space. Now, even after heavy rain, our yard remains dry and usable. The professionalism and expertise of the team were evident throughout the process, from initial consultation to completion. We highly recommend their services to anyone dealing with similar drainage issues. Thanks to them, we can finally enjoy our outdoor space without worrying about flooding or water damage."

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

Pros will assess your soil type, property geography, and rain patterns for optimal slope.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item. These designations almost always come with a small, on-site plaque for identification, but you should also be able to look up protected trees in your area on a city website or similar list. If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.

Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.

When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses 100 gallons of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.

Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.
