Professional land clearing services remove trees, brush, and obstacles while protecting environmental integrity. We use specialized equipment for selective clearing and topsoil preservation. Our process includes debris sorting, responsible disposal, and site preparation for construction. We handle permitting requirements and work with environmental professionals for sensitive areas to ensure regulatory compliance during large-scale development projects.
Hydro Excavation
Hydro excavation services use high-pressure water and industrial vacuums for safe utility exposure. This non-mechanical method prevents damage to underground infrastructure while enabling precise digging in congested areas. Our trucks handle frozen ground conditions and collect slurry immediately to minimize environmental impact. We provide daylighting services for utility maintenance and new installations with minimal surface disruption.

Report
I contacted PG Excavating to cut out and grade a 15' x 12' area for a fire pit on my 4 acre property. The project also included a gravel base, a weed barrier, 1.5 tons of decorative rock, and framing with landscape timbers. The selected site was in a back corner of the property and a distance from the driveway.
Sean contacted me weekly to assess the wetness of the property to minimize damage from heavy equipment. He did not pick a date and force it on me. He continually checked the property and proceeded when he felt the ground could best handle the activity. He made this decision
