Drainage trenching

Standing water in the yard, a wet basement wall, or a drain field that floods every spring usually traces to surface and groundwater that has nowhere to go. We cut drainage trenches, set perforated pipe in stone, and grade the discharge so water leaves the property instead of sitting on the septic system. Curtain drains upslope of a drain field are one of the cheapest ways to save a field that is drowning.

Land clearing

Clearing for new septic systems, drain field expansions, utility corridors and building sites. Brush, small trees and stumps removed, grubbed and hauled or chipped, with the area graded for what comes next. Clearing is scoped to the design: a drain field needs a clear, sunlit area with no roots reaching into the stone, and we clear to that line and not a foot past it.

Backfill, compaction and site restoration

Every excavation ends with restoration. Backfill in lifts, compaction to prevent settling, finish grading, and lawn, gravel or pavement put back. When a repair crosses asphalt, we coordinate the paving. The quote includes restoration; it is not an extra.

Why one crew

The excavator that opens the ground for a tank replacement is ours, and so is the pump truck that empties the old tank and the hydrovac that exposes the gas line ten feet away. One crew, one schedule, one quote, one restored site. No subcontractor waiting on another subcontractor.
