You Need Excavation Services You Can Trust

Maybe you’ve been putting off that drainage problem in your yard because every time it rains hard, water pools near your foundation. Or perhaps you’re ready to build that addition you’ve been planning, but you need the site properly prepared first. Whatever brought you here, you’re probably dealing with the same frustration most Connecticut homeowners face when they need excavation work.

You’ve likely called around and gotten quotes that vary wildly, or worse, contractors who never called you back. Some might have shown up late, given you a quick look, and handed you an estimate that seemed too good to be true. Others may have used so much technical jargon that you weren’t sure what you were actually paying for.

At Prestige Excavation & Drainage of CT, we get it. We’ve been in this business since 2015, and we know that excavation work can feel overwhelming. That’s why we focus on clear communication, transparent pricing, and getting your project done right the first time. When we say we’ll be there at 8 AM on Tuesday, we’re there at 8 AM on Tuesday.

Complete Excavation Solutions for Every Project

We handle all types of excavation work throughout Connecticut, from simple grading projects to complex foundation preparation. Our team has the experience and equipment to tackle whatever your property needs.

Our excavation services start with proper site preparation. We’ll clear your land of trees, brush, and debris, then grade it to the exact specifications your project requires. Whether you’re building a new home, adding a garage, or creating outdoor living space, we make sure your site is properly prepared from day one.

Foundation excavation is one of our specialties. We dig precise foundations that meet all local building codes and engineering requirements. Our experienced operators know how to work with Connecticut’s varied soil conditions, from rocky terrain in the northern towns to the clay soils common in many areas.

We also handle utility trenching for water lines, septic systems, and electrical services. This work requires precision and safety awareness, especially when working near existing utilities. We always call 811 before we dig, and we use soft digging techniques when working around sensitive areas.

Land Clearing That Transforms Your Property

If your property has overgrown areas or you need to clear land for a new project, our land clearing services can help. We remove unwanted trees, brush, and undergrowth to give you usable space and improve your property’s appearance.

Spaces/Systems We Work Through

Our forestry mulching service is perfect for larger clearing projects. Instead of cutting trees and hauling away debris, we use specialized equipment to grind trees and brush right on site. This creates a natural mulch layer that actually improves your soil while clearing the area you need.

Many of our clients in towns like Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton have used our land clearing services to create more yard space for their families or to prepare sites for new construction. We work carefully to preserve the trees and landscaping you want to keep while removing only what needs to go.

Grading and Drainage Solutions That Work

1. PROPER GRADING PREVENTS PROBLEMS

Proper grading is critical for any excavation project. Water needs to flow away from your home and other structures, and your finished surfaces need to be level and stable. We handle both rough grading to establish proper slopes and fine grading for final surfaces.

2. DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS THAT LAST

Drainage problems are common throughout Connecticut, especially in areas with clay soil or poor natural drainage. We install French drains, catch basins, and other drainage systems to keep water where it belongs. If you’ve dealt with a wet basement, standing water in your yard, or erosion problems, we can design and install solutions that work.

3. PROFESSIONAL SOIL COMPACTION

Our grading work includes soil compaction to prevent settling and ensure long-term stability. Whether you’re preparing for a paved driveway, a new building foundation, or landscaping, proper compaction is essential for lasting results.

Stump Grinding and Tree Removal

When trees need to come down, we handle the job safely and completely. Our tree removal service covers hazardous trees, trees that interfere with construction, and trees you simply want removed from your property.

We focus on safe removal techniques that protect your property and our workers. After removing a tree, we can grind the stump below ground level so it won’t interfere with landscaping, mowing, or future construction.

Many homeowners in towns like Monroe, Newtown, and Woodbury have used our tree removal services to clear sites for additions, remove storm-damaged trees, or eliminate trees that were too close to their homes. We clean up thoroughly after every job, so you’re left with a neat, ready-to-use space.

Retaining Walls and Landscape Construction

Sloped properties often need retaining walls to create usable level areas and prevent erosion. We design and build retaining walls using various materials, from natural stone to manufactured blocks, depending on your needs and preferences.

Our landscape construction services include creating gravel pads for sheds or equipment, building walkways and patios, and preparing areas for landscaping. We can grade areas for lawns, create planting beds, and install drainage systems to keep your landscaping healthy.

Retaining walls require proper foundation preparation, drainage, and construction techniques to last for years. We handle all aspects of the project, from excavating the foundation to installing proper drainage behind the wall to prevent water buildup and failure.

Rock Removal and Earth Moving

Connecticut’s rocky soil can make excavation challenging, but we have the equipment and experience to handle even the toughest conditions. We remove boulders, ledge rock, and scattered stones that interfere with construction or landscaping.

Our earth moving services help reshape your property to better suit your needs. We can move soil from high areas to low spots, create level building sites on sloped lots, and reshape drainage patterns to solve water problems.

Many properties in towns like Bridgewater, Roxbury, and Woodbury have significant rock that needs removal before construction can proceed. We have the heavy equipment and expertise to handle these challenging conditions efficiently.

Driveway and Roadway Excavation

A proper driveway starts with proper excavation and base preparation. We excavate driveways to the correct depth, install proper drainage, and create a stable base that will support your paved surface for years.

Our driveway excavation includes removing unsuitable soil, establishing proper grades for drainage, and installing base materials that meet local specifications. We work with paving contractors throughout Connecticut and understand what they need for successful installations.

Private road construction requires similar attention to proper base preparation. We can excavate and prepare roadways for gravel or paved surfaces, including proper drainage and base materials for long-lasting results.
