Site Development Services
We offer a full range of site prep and land development solutions for both residential and small commercial projects. Some of our most requested services include:
Excavation
- We use heavy-duty equipment to dig foundations, basements, trenches, and other spaces needed for construction or landscaping. Whether it’s a small garden pond or a large foundation slab, we’ve got you covered.
Grading & Resloping
- Proper grading ensures water flows away from buildings, patios, and lawns—protecting your property from water damage. We shape the land to create smooth, functional surfaces ready for the next phase of construction.
Drainage Solutions
- Drainage issues are common in Kentucky’s mixed terrain. We install French drains, swales, dry creek beds, and downspout extensions to prevent pooling, erosion, and soggy spots in your yard.
Land Clearing
- Clearing the site is often the first step to a successful project. We remove trees, stumps, brush, and debris, leaving a clean, build-ready area.
Soil & Gravel Hauling
- Need to bring in or remove fill material? We handle all logistics, including hauling topsoil, gravel, and other aggregates in and out of your property.
Utility Trenching
- We dig safe, code-compliant trenches for plumbing, electric lines, gas connections, and irrigation systems as part of your construction prep.
