Reliable Excavating and Land Prep Services
Serving homeowners, contractors, and municipalities across Southwest New Hampshire.
From lot clearing and foundation digging to septic installations and driveway repairs, we focus on practical, well-built earthwork that holds up over time.
Proper Sitework is More Than Just Digging Holes
Sitework requires an understanding of how water, soil, and slopes will interact over the years.
Jay brings decades of hands-on operating experience to every job, visualizing the final grading and drainage before the tracks touch dirt. This ensures your driveway doesn’t wash out during a heavy rain storm or your new foundation shows water damage down the road. Jay’s admittedly a bit fussy about the details, but that’s exactly how you avoid costly surprises and ensure the work lasts.

Site Preparation and Land Clearing
A successful building project depends entirely on how the land is prepped. We handle the heavy lifting to ensure your construction site is stable, level, and ready for development.
Residential and Commercial Lot Clearing
Removing trees, brush, and thick overgrowth to prepare your property for construction. We clear the land efficiently while being careful to protect the surrounding trees you want to keep.
Foundation Excavation and Additions
Digging precise foundations for new homes, garages, or structural additions. We pay close attention to correct depths, straight walls, and solid soil compaction.
Shed, Barn, and Garage Pad Site Prep
Leveling and prepping the ground for outbuildings. We build a stable, well-draining base of gravel or crushed stone so your structure stays level and dry through every season.
Log Landing Construction
Clearing stable, heavy-duty areas to handle timber harvesting equipment. We also grade and reclaim old log landings after a harvest, turning them back into clean fields or usable space.
Septic Systems, Utilities, and Drainage Solutions
Water and waste management are the most critical parts of any sitework project. We specialize in underground utilities and practical drainage fixes that protect your investment.
Septic System Installation and Repair
Installing complete new septic systems or replacing failed leach fields. We work closely with your engineers and local inspectors to ensure your system meets all NH regulations and functions flawlessly.
Drainage Management and Curtain Drains
Diverting standing water away from your foundation, yard, or driveway. We install curtain drains, French drains, and swales to handle heavy rain and spring snowmelt.
Utility Trenching
Digging clean, safe trenches for underground electric lines, water pipes, propane lines, and conduits. We ensure correct depths and backfill carefully to protect your utilities.
Culvert Replacement and Repair
Swapping out crushed, rusted, or undersized driveway culverts. We set new pipes at the exact pitch required to restore natural water flow and prevent driveway washouts.
Driveways, Roadways, and Land Maintenance
From restoring an old logging road to prepping a lawn, we help you reclaim your property and keep your access roads in excellent shape.
Driveway Construction and Grading
Building new gravel driveways from the dirt up or restoring old, pothole-ridden roads. We establish a proper crown and side ditches so water sheds off the surface instead of destroying it.
Pasture Improvements and Field Restoration
Transforming overgrown, rocky land into safe, productive acreage for livestock or hay. We clear invasive brush, remove stubborn stumps, and fix soggy spots so your animals have dry footing.
Stump and Boulder Removal
Popping out stubborn tree stumps and massive New Hampshire boulders that are getting in the way of your landscaping or building plans.
Final Grading and Topsoil Prep
Spreading screened loam and smoothing out the final layers of earth. We leave your yard perfectly prepped and contoured for grass seed, sod, or landscaping.
