Springfield Excavation Contractor: Grading, Site Prep & Drainage
Excavation, grading, trenching and drainage work for Springfield, IL and Sangamon County builders and property owners.
Mowry Excavation & Land Management is a Springfield excavation contractor working with homeowners, builders and commercial property owners across Sangamon County. For excavation in Springfield, IL we handle site preparation, land grading, utility trenching, drainage solutions, land clearing, forestry mulching and demolition with one crew.
A lot of the work in a city this size starts with the same question: is the ground ready for what comes next? We check elevations, cut and fill the site, and finish with laser or GPS-guided grading so the pad or yard is sloped correctly before the concrete, the framing crew or the landscaper arrives.
We are based in Bethany, IL, and available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Call (217) 454-1632 for a free on-site excavation estimate in Springfield, or contact us online.
