Small Jobs With a Clear Scope
Our compact excavator is suited to smaller trenches, ditches, stump excavation, and property work. We check access width, slopes, soil, and working room before confirming the machine can do your job.
Gary brings 37 years of union trade experience. You get a defined digging scope: what is being excavated, where the spoil goes, and whether backfill, material delivery, or hauling is included.
Utility trenching is excavation, not a promise to install or connect electrical, gas, water, or septic systems. We coordinate the digging scope with the appropriate installer and confirm utility locations before work.
Compact machine work for driveways, trenches, and site prep.
Union trade experience behind the grade and finish.
Serving Kanawha, Putnam, Lincoln, and Boone counties.

Make Room for What's Next
Putting up a metal building, adding a detached garage, or having a shed delivered? We assess the grading, access, and working room around the footprint using the site requirements supplied by your builder or installer.
The surrounding space matters, too: a gravel approach for deliveries, extra parking beside the drive, and somewhere for the excavated soil to go. We can quote suitable digging, material delivery, and dirt removal together so you are not left arranging another pickup.
Free estimates, straight answers.
We'll look at the job, explain the work, and quote it clearly before anything starts.

Drainage Trenches & Ditches
Small trench and ditch excavation for runoff, drainpipe, or an agreed drainage route. Ask about backfill and spoil hauling as part of the job.
Utility Trench Excavation
Digging for a planned water line or conduit route, using the depth and layout agreed with your installer. Utility installation and hookups are separate.
Stump Excavation & Removal
Digging out suitable stumps and roots where our machine has access. Size, nearby structures, utilities, disposal, and backfill determine the scope. This is not stump grinding.
Gravel Driveway Grading
Regrade an uneven gravel drive or assess a wider parking area and a better approach to an outbuilding. We review runoff and any added gravel before quoting.
Small Site Prep & Grading
Limited clearing and grading for a shed, detached garage, or other small property project. Send dimensions, access photos, and your installer's site requirements so we can confirm the scope.
Spoil Removal & Material Delivery
A trench or new building site can leave more soil than you want to keep. Include suitable dirt removal, gravel delivery, or backfill in the digging quote, with loads and trips planned for the material.
