We take on the full range of dirt work across Columbia County — clearing lots, digging and prepping foundations, grading, and getting sites ready to build.
Hudson’s older homes often have tired septic systems. We install, replace, and repair tanks, distribution boxes, and leach fields, and we’ll dig up and expose your system so the real issue gets found and fixed. New and replacement systems are permitted through the county health department and priced after a site visit and perc test. See our septic services and the Hudson Valley septic cost guide.
We install and repair gravel and stone driveways, fix standing water and runoff with drainage & culvert installation, handle demolition of old structures, and clear overgrown property with land clearing & brush removal.
Fully insured, family-owned in Pine Plains since 2021, and rated 5.0 stars on Google reviews. Honest quotes after a real site visit, one accountable crew from first dig to final grade, and a local who answers the phone.
