You avoid the headaches that come with cutting corners on site preparation. Your investment is protected from day one, and your project timeline stays intact.
We’ve been serving East Greenwich since our logging days in 1997. We transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, and Josh’s son joined as partner in 2022, making us truly family-operated.
Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality. We’re not just another excavation company – we’re building relationships with homeowners who want their “excavator forever.”
We understand East Greenwich’s unique drainage considerations and local permit requirements. When you’re dealing with your property and your investment, you want contractors who show up with the right equipment and the experience to handle whatever we find underground.
First, we call Dig Safe to mark all underground utilities. This protects your property and prevents costly damage to electric, gas, water, and sewer lines.
Next, we handle complete vegetation removal, stump grinding, and debris hauling. We work around existing structures you want to keep and coordinate with utility companies when necessary. Everything gets disposed of through proper channels – no burning, no illegal dumping.
Finally, we prepare your site with proper grading for drainage, topsoil preservation where needed, and erosion control measures. We factor in East Greenwich’s natural water flow patterns and ensure your finished grade directs water away from building areas toward appropriate drainage points.

Your land clearing project includes complete vegetation removal, stump grinding, and all debris hauling. We handle both selective clearing around existing structures and full lot clearing for new construction.
Site preparation covers proper grading for drainage, topsoil preservation where needed, and erosion control measures. We work around existing utilities and coordinate with utility companies when necessary.
East Greenwich properties often have unique drainage considerations due to local topography. We factor in natural water flow patterns and ensure your finished grade directs water away from building areas and toward appropriate drainage points. Most residential lots in East Greenwich take 1-3 days to clear completely, depending on size and density of vegetation.
Yes, East Greenwich requires permits for most land clearing projects, especially those involving trees over a certain diameter or clearing more than a specific area. The requirements vary depending on your property’s zoning and the scope of work.
We’re familiar with local permit requirements and can guide you through the process. It’s always better to check with the town before starting any clearing work to avoid potential fines or project delays.
We handle the coordination with local authorities and can provide documentation if needed for your permits. This saves you time and ensures everything is done according to local regulations.
Most residential lots in East Greenwich take 1-3 days to clear completely, depending on the size and density of vegetation. A standard quarter-acre lot with moderate tree coverage typically takes about 2 days from start to finish.
The timeline depends on several factors: the amount of vegetation, terrain conditions, weather, and whether we’re doing selective clearing around existing structures or full lot clearing. Larger properties or those with dense forest coverage will take longer.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and stick to them. Our goal is to get your site ready for the next phase of construction without delays that throw off your entire building schedule.
Yes, we regularly do selective clearing around homes, outbuildings, and other structures. Our operators are experienced in working in tight spaces and protecting existing improvements.
We use appropriate equipment for the space available and take precautions to prevent damage to buildings, driveways, or landscaping you want to keep. Before starting, we’ll discuss exactly what needs to be protected and plan our approach accordingly.
This type of work requires more precision and care, but it’s something we handle regularly for East Greenwich homeowners who want to expand their usable space without disturbing existing structures.
We handle all debris removal and disposal as part of our service. Usable timber may be processed for lumber or firewood, while brush and smaller material gets chipped or taken to approved disposal facilities.
We follow all local regulations for organic waste disposal and can provide documentation if needed for your permits. Nothing gets burned on-site or dumped illegally – everything is disposed of through proper channels.
This comprehensive approach means you don’t have to worry about piles of debris sitting on your property or finding ways to dispose of large amounts of organic waste. We take care of everything from start to finish.
We always call Dig Safe before any excavation work begins. This marks the location of underground utilities like electric, gas, water, and sewer lines at no cost to you.
Our operators are trained to work carefully around marked utilities and stop work immediately if we encounter any unmarked lines. We also coordinate with utility companies when work needs to be done near overhead power lines or other infrastructure.
This careful approach prevents costly utility damage and keeps your project on schedule. Hitting an underground line can shut down your entire project and result in expensive repairs and fines.
We’re a family business where Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality. We’re not trying to squeeze in as many jobs as possible – we focus on doing each project right the first time.
Our experience started in logging back in 1997, so we understand trees, terrain, and proper land management. We transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, combining that forestry knowledge with modern excavation expertise.
We’re building relationships with East Greenwich homeowners who want their “excavator forever.” That means providing exceptional care and value, not just the cheapest price. When you hire us, you’re getting local expertise, family values, and professional results.
