You’re not just clearing trees. You’re creating the foundation for everything that comes next.
Proper site preparation means your foundation contractor shows up to level, stable ground. No surprises about drainage. No delays because the soil wasn’t prepared correctly. No expensive fixes six months later when water starts pooling where it shouldn’t.
When we finish your land clearing in Fitch Point, your construction team can start immediately. That’s what real site preparation looks like.
We’ve been clearing land in Fitch Point since 1997. Started as a logging business, became full-time excavation contractors in 2020.
That means we understand the terrain here. Rocky soil conditions. How water moves across properties in this area. Which equipment works best for different lot sizes and access situations.
Your neighbors are our neighbors. When you’re trusting someone with your property, that local accountability matters.
First, we walk your property together. You show us what stays, what goes, and any concerns about access or neighboring properties. We identify utilities, drainage patterns, and soil conditions that affect our approach.
Clearing starts with selective removal. Trees and brush you want gone, removed efficiently. We’re not the crew that shows up with equipment that’s too big for your space or too small for your timeline.
Final grading sets up proper drainage and creates the level, stable surface your project needs. All debris gets loaded and hauled away completely. You’re left with clean, prepared land ready for the next phase.

Site preparation in Fitch Point includes selective tree and brush removal, stump grinding, and complete debris removal. We handle both the clearing and the cleanup, so you’re not left with piles scattered around your property.
Grading services ensure proper drainage and create level building areas. This isn’t just pushing dirt around. It’s understanding how water moves across your land and creating grades that prevent future problems with standing water or erosion.
All debris gets loaded and hauled away as part of the service. Trees suitable for firewood can be cut and stacked if you want them, otherwise everything goes. The site is completely clean when we’re finished, ready for your next contractor.
Land clearing removes vegetation and debris. Site preparation includes clearing plus grading, drainage considerations, and creating a stable, level surface ready for construction.
Basic clearing might leave you with an empty lot that still needs significant work before building can start. Site preparation means your excavator or foundation crew can begin work immediately on properly prepared ground.
Most construction projects need full site preparation, not just clearing, to avoid delays and problems during the building phase.
Properties with good equipment access cost less than sites where we have to work around obstacles or limited entry points. We provide detailed estimates after seeing your specific property because every site is different.
The estimate includes clearing, debris removal, and basic grading, so you know the total cost upfront. Rocky soil conditions or difficult access can affect pricing, but we discuss all of this during our initial site visit.
In Fitch Point, we’ve worked on everything from small residential lots to larger commercial properties, so we understand the local factors that impact costs.
Yes, selective clearing is a big part of what we do. During the initial site visit, you show us exactly which trees and landscape features to preserve.
We mark these clearly and plan equipment access routes that protect root systems and avoid damage to trunks and branches. Our operators have experience working around valuable trees and existing structures.
The key is clear communication upfront about what stays and what goes, so there are no surprises once the equipment starts working.
Most excavation projects in Fitch Point require building permits from Dutchess County, especially for foundation work or septic systems. We handle permits, utility markings, and coordination with other contractors if needed.
We understand local soil conditions, know which permits you need, and have experience navigating the requirements. This saves you time and ensures everything is done correctly from the start.
Once we start, we take care of the coordination so you can focus on everything else about your project.
Rock is common in Fitch Point and we’re equipped to handle it. We have hydraulic hammers and other rock-breaking equipment for most situations.
We assess rock conditions during the initial site visit when possible, but sometimes you don’t know what’s below until you start digging. If we encounter unexpected rock, we stop work, discuss options and costs, and get your approval before proceeding.
Extensive ledge rock may require blasting, which involves additional permits and specialized contractors, but we coordinate all of that if needed.
Yes, cleanup and final grading are included in our excavation services. We remove excess soil, rocks, and debris from the work area.
Final grading ensures proper drainage away from foundations and creates smooth transitions to existing landscape. We don’t just dig holes and leave – the job isn’t finished until your site is clean and properly graded.
We have relationships with local facilities for proper disposal of brush, stumps, and other organic material. You won’t have burn piles or debris left behind.
