Decatur Excavation Contractor: Site Prep, Grading & Demolition
Excavation, grading, demolition and land clearing for Decatur, IL and the rest of Macon County.
Mowry Excavation & Land Management is a Decatur excavation contractor serving homeowners, landowners, builders and commercial property owners across Macon County. If you need excavation in Decatur, IL, our crew handles the dirt work from the first cut to the final grade: site preparation, grading, trenching, drainage, land clearing, forestry mulching and demolition.
Decatur properties come in every shape: a city lot that needs an old garage or outbuilding taken down, a commercial parcel that has to be leveled before a contractor can start, or a few acres on the edge of town that have grown over with brush. We size our excavators and skid steers to the job, so a tight lot gets the right machine instead of a bigger one than it needs.
Our office is in Bethany, IL, and we work Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Call (217) 454-1632 for a free on-site estimate in Decatur, or send us a message with the address and what you want done.

Excavation and Demolition Work for Decatur Properties
When a Decatur property has an old structure on it, the order of work matters. We can take the building down, remove the debris, and then grade the lot so it drains correctly, so you are not coordinating a demolition crew and a separate excavation crew. If the lot is going to be built on, we can continue straight into excavation and site preparation for the new foundation or building pad.
Our core services are excavation and site preparation, land clearing and forestry mulching and demolition and removal. See the full list on our services page.
