Forsyth Excavation Contractor: Grading, Drainage & Site Prep

Excavation, grading, drainage and site preparation for Forsyth, IL residential lots and nearby Macon County properties.

Mowry Excavation & Land Management is a Forsyth excavation contractor serving homeowners, builders and landowners in the village of Forsyth and across Macon County. For excavation in Forsyth, IL we handle grading, drainage solutions, site preparation, trenching, land clearing, forestry mulching and demolition.

On a residential lot, small elevation problems turn into big headaches: a yard that holds water, a driveway that washes out, or a pad that is not quite level before the slab goes in. We start with an elevation check, then cut, fill and grade with laser or GPS-guided equipment so the ground slopes the way it should.

We work Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM out of our office in Bethany, IL. Call (217) 454-1632 for a free on-site estimate in Forsyth, or send us a message.

Forsyth is right next to Decatur, and we work both. For a homeowner that usually means a straightforward project: assess the yard or pad, set the grade so water moves away from the house, and finish clean. If a project grows, for example adding a shop, a new drive or a cleared back lot, we can expand the plan without bringing in a different contractor.
