You get land that’s construction-ready, not just cleared. Proper drainage that directs water where it belongs. Grading that considers what your builder actually needs to break ground. No surprises about wet spots or rocky sections three weeks into construction.
That’s what happens when site preparation is handled by contractors who know Hampton’s terrain. Every slope, every soil type, every drainage challenge that comes with building in Washington County.
Your project timeline stays intact because the groundwork was done right from day one.
We’ve been working Hampton land since 1997, starting as a logging operation before transitioning to full-time excavation in 2020. Josh and his son run this family business with one focus: being your excavator forever, not just the cheapest option.
We’re the contractors who live here, work here, and stake our reputation on every job. When you call, you’re talking to people who understand Hampton’s rocky hillsides and wet bottomland because we’ve been navigating this terrain for decades.
Josh shows up on almost every job site personally. That’s how we ensure quality and build the relationships that keep customers coming back.
Every project starts with Josh walking your property. We assess terrain, identify potential challenges, and discuss exactly what your builder needs to start foundation work. You get a detailed estimate covering clearing, grading, and debris removal.
Once work begins, we clear vegetation while preserving areas you want to keep. Our equipment handles everything from tree removal to rock extraction that stops other contractors. We grade for proper drainage and level building areas according to your construction plans.
The final step is complete cleanup and site preparation. No debris pushed to property edges. No shortcuts that create problems later. Your land is ready for the next phase of your project.

Land clearing costs in Hampton typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 per acre, depending on vegetation density, terrain difficulty, and access challenges. Light clearing of open areas with scattered trees costs less, while heavily wooded areas with large trees and difficult access cost more.
Additional factors include stump removal requirements, rock removal needs, and distance to debris disposal sites. Grading and site preparation add to the base clearing cost but are often necessary for construction readiness. Every property is different, so accurate pricing requires a site visit and detailed assessment of your specific conditions.
Winter grading in Hampton is possible during periods of frozen ground, but weather conditions significantly impact scheduling. We can work when the ground is frozen solid, but wet or muddy conditions require waiting for better weather to avoid damaging your property or creating drainage problems.
Spring and summer are ideal for grading work, but we understand construction schedules don’t always align with perfect weather. We’ll assess current conditions and provide realistic timelines based on your property’s specific situation and the scope of work required.
