When your Bacon Hill project is complete, you’ll have a properly graded site with drainage that actually works. No standing water around your foundation. No erosion problems washing away your investment. No delays for your contractors because the site prep was done right the first time.
That’s what happens when you work with a grading contractor who understands how water moves through this region. We’ve been handling site preparation in Bacon Hill long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
Your contractors can start immediately instead of spending their first day fixing someone else’s mistakes. Your foundation will be stable because we handle drainage correctly from the beginning.
We started as a logging business in 1997 and transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020. Josh’s son joined as a partner in 2022, making this a true family operation.
We’re not the cheapest option in Bacon Hill, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in a contractor who shows up when promised, uses professional equipment, and finishes the job properly. Josh is present on almost every project to ensure quality control.
We live and work in this area. We understand the soil conditions, drainage patterns, and terrain challenges that make Bacon Hill properties unique. That local knowledge makes the difference between adequate work and grading that protects your investment long-term.
First, we walk your Bacon Hill property to understand existing drainage patterns and identify problem areas. We look at where water naturally wants to go and plan the grading to work with that flow, not against it.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. Our grading covers everything from initial site evaluation to final cleanup. We handle rough grading for new construction, finish grading around existing structures, and drainage corrections for properties with water problems.
You get transparent pricing upfront, so you know what the job will cost before we start. We don’t hit you with surprise charges or change orders unless you ask us to do additional work that wasn’t part of the original scope. When we’re finished, your site is ready for immediate construction.

Our grading contractor services in Bacon Hill, NY include site evaluation, excavation, drainage solutions, and final grading. We bring professional-grade equipment that handles both large-scale site preparation and detailed work around existing landscaping or utilities.
Bacon Hill properties often present unique challenges with rocky soil, mature trees, and uneven terrain that sits on the plateau above the Hudson River valley. Our equipment handles these conditions without the delays or extra costs that come with inadequate machinery.
We coordinate debris disposal and work around your timeline requirements. Whether you need the site cleared before contractors arrive or you’re working around weather windows, we adjust our schedule to keep your project moving forward. Our operators know how to work efficiently without damaging utilities, septic systems, or other underground infrastructure.
Grading costs in Bacon Hill depend on your lot size, the amount of soil that needs to be moved, and how much existing grade needs to be corrected. A basic residential lot might run anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000, but properties with significant drainage issues or steep slopes will cost more.
The terrain challenges specific to Bacon Hill – rocky soil, mature trees, and uneven ground on the plateau – can affect pricing. We provide transparent estimates upfront after walking your property and understanding exactly what work needs to be done.
We don’t surprise you with change orders or hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless you ask us to do additional work beyond the original scope.
Yes, we can often correct drainage issues on existing properties, but the approach depends on what’s causing the problem and how much space we have to work with. Sometimes it’s a matter of adjusting the grade around the foundation or installing drainage systems.
Other times we need to regrade larger areas of the property. Given Bacon Hill’s position on the plateau above the Hudson River valley, water movement patterns can be complex and require local expertise to address properly.
We’ll assess your specific drainage problem and explain what options make sense for your situation and budget. Our goal is to work with the natural water flow patterns in this region, not against them.
Absolutely. We call Dig Safe before any excavation work and hand-dig around marked utilities when necessary. Protecting existing utilities is part of doing the job right, not an extra service.
We’ve seen too many projects turn into expensive disasters because someone didn’t take utility protection seriously. Our operators know how to work around water lines, septic systems, electrical service, and other underground infrastructure without damaging them.
You’ll need to call Dig Safe (811) before we start any excavation work. This is required by law and protects both your utilities and our equipment. We won’t begin work until utilities are marked and we understand what’s underground in the work area.
Timeline depends on your lot size, terrain, and how much work needs to be done. A typical residential lot with moderate grading needs usually takes 1-2 days to complete. Larger properties or those with significant drainage corrections can take several days to a week.
Rocky terrain or difficult access – which we see frequently in Bacon Hill given the area’s geological characteristics – can extend the timeline. We’ll give you a realistic estimate upfront based on your specific property conditions.
We coordinate with your overall construction timeline and can work around weather windows or contractor schedules. The key is planning the work properly so your other contractors can proceed without delays.
Permit requirements typically stay with the property owner, but we can advise you on local requirements. Some grading projects in Bacon Hill may require permits, especially for larger areas or if you’re near wetlands or protected areas.
We’re familiar with local regulations in Northumberland and can help you understand what might be required for your specific project. It’s always best to check with the town before starting major grading work.
We can work with your timeline once any required permits are in place. Our experience with local projects means we understand the typical approval process and can help you avoid delays.
Local expertise matters when you’re dealing with Bacon Hill’s unique terrain and drainage challenges. We understand how water moves through this region, the soil conditions you’ll encounter, and the specific challenges that come with properties on the plateau above the Hudson River valley.
We live and work in this area, so we have a reputation to maintain with neighbors and local contractors. When you call us, you’re working with people who understand your area and have relationships with local builders and suppliers.
We’re not a fly-by-night operation that disappears after the job. We’re building long-term relationships in this community and want to be your excavator for future projects. That means doing the work right the first time and standing behind our results.
