Greene County-Specific Excavation Considerations
Sullivan County’s rural nature presents unique excavation challenges, including narrow or private roads that require smaller, more maneuverable machinery, high water tables and seasonal ground saturation that affect stability and drainage, permitting processes with the county health department that can slow down projects if not managed correctly, and hilly or uneven terrain in areas like Bethel and Forestburgh that demand precise grading and careful planning. We factor all of these conditions into every excavation plan, helping you avoid project delays, failed inspections, drainage problems, or long-term structural issues.

We provide full-service excavation designed for long-term performance, proper drainage and code compliance.
Site Preparation
We clear trees and brush, then level and grade land to prepare for building foundations, driveways and utility installation.
Foundation and Basement Excavation
We dig for slabs, footings, crawlspaces and full basements. Our excavations are clean, accurate and properly sloped for drainage.

We dig utility trenches for electric, water and drainage systems. All trenches are sloped correctly and backfilled to protect your infrastructure.
Grading and Backfilling
After structural work is complete, we return to grade, backfill and compact the site to create a safe and stable surface.
