Large Land Clearing
We turn overgrown or completely unusable acreage into workable land. Utilizing heavy-duty equipment for forestry mulching, tree removal, and grubbing, we prepare expansive lots for major development.
New Build Excavation
The foundation of any lasting build starts deep in the dirt. We handle complex basement excavations, deep footings, and utility trenching for large custom homes and commercial structures.
Major Site Preparation
We provide heavy grading and structural soil shaping for large residential developments and commercial lots. Proper soil handling ensures zero settling and a stable base for heavy construction.
Advanced Drainage Systems
Effective water management is critical for large sites. We install comprehensive drainage infrastructure, including settlement ponds, large culverts, and erosion control systems to protect new build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of projects do you take on?
We specialize in large-scale dirt work. This includes massive land clearing, full site preparation for new builds, basement excavations, and heavy drainage solutions. We do not handle small, minor jobs like standard driveway repairs or small lawn grading.
What is involved in your large land clearing process?
Depending on the property, we utilize forestry mulching, traditional grub and burn, and heavy brush hogging to clear out dense vegetation, trees, and stumps, turning raw acreage into workable, build-ready land.
Do you dig foundations for new home builds?
Yes. We handle precise digging for footings, full basement excavations, and utility trenching. Getting the excavation right is the most critical step before the concrete is poured.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve South Central Michigan, including Hillsdale, Ingham, Jackson, Lenawee, and Washtenaw counties.
How do you manage water runoff on a newly cleared site?
Proper drainage is built into our site preparation process. We design and install French drains, settlement ponds, culverts, and erosion control systems to ensure heavy rains are safely diverted away from your new structures.
