Zion, IL we handle drainage solutions, utility trenching, driveway prep, grading, site preparation, land clearing and demolition.

Water is the most common reason people call an excavation contractor, and it is rarely the same problem twice. It might be a low corner of the yard, a downspout that needs a place to go, or a driveway that erodes after storms. We look at where the water comes from and where it needs to go, then use trenching and grading to give it a path.

Fixing Water Problems and Prepping Drives in Mt. Zion

A good drainage fix starts with grade. We check elevations, find where water collects and plan a combination of grading and trenching to carry it away from the structure. Driveways follow the same logic: shape the base, set the slope and add rock work so the surface sheds water instead of holding it. Because Mt. Zion sits beside Decatur, we can often schedule both areas together.

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.
