Excavating & Dirt Work in Clare, Michigan

Leveling, grading, topsoil, and sand or fill hauled and spread, often right after a clearing job.

What it is

What is excavating & dirt work?

Once land is cleared, it usually needs shaping. Our excavating and dirt work covers leveling topsoil, hauling and spreading sand or fill, and grading for drainage, yards, and building pads.

Having one crew handle both the clearing and the dirt work keeps your project moving without waiting on a second contractor.
