Your Property Problems Deserve Real Solutions
Let’s be honest, dealing with excavation and drainage issues is stressful enough without having to worry about whether your contractor will actually show up. You’ve probably experienced the frustration of calling multiple companies, waiting weeks for quotes, or worse yet, hiring someone who disappeared halfway through the job.
Maybe your basement floods every spring when the snow melts. Perhaps you can’t use your backyard because it turns into a swamp after every rainstorm. Or you’re planning a new addition but need proper site preparation first. Whatever brought you here, you’re looking for someone who understands that your home is your biggest investment and treats it that way.
That’s exactly why we started Prestige CT Excavation & Drainage back in 2015. We saw too many homeowners getting burned by contractors who overpromised and underdelivered. We decided to do things differently. We decided to be the company we’d want to hire for our own homes.
A Decade of Doing Right by Connecticut Families
For nearly ten years, we’ve been serving families across Oxford, Seymour, Ansonia, Shelton, Monroe, Bridgewater, Roxbury, Woodbury, Middlebury, Southbury, Naugatuck, Woodbridge, Prospect, Newtown, Oakville, Watertown, and Wolcott. We’ve learned that every property tells a story, and most of them involve previous contractors who either cut corners or simply didn’t understand Connecticut’s unique soil and drainage challenges.
Take our recent project in Southbury, where a family had been dealing with basement flooding for three years. Two previous contractors had promised fixes that never worked. The problem wasn’t just surface water. It was a combination of poor grading, inadequate drainage around the foundation, and compacted soil that wasn’t allowing proper water absorption. We didn’t just patch the problem; we completely redesigned their drainage system and regraded the entire property. That was two years ago, and their basement has stayed bone dry through every storm since.
This is what happens when you work with people who actually understand excavation and drainage, not just someone with a shovel and good intentions.
Why Experience Matters More Than Ever
Connecticut’s soil conditions can be tricky: from the rocky terrain in Roxbury to the clay-heavy soils in parts of Naugatuck. What works in one town might be completely wrong for another. After handling hundreds of projects across our service areas, we’ve seen just about every challenge our region can throw at a property.
We’ve also learned that the technical work is only half the job. The other half is communication. You shouldn’t have to wonder what’s happening with your project or when we’ll be back to finish the work. That’s why we keep you informed every step of the way, explain what we’re doing and why, and always clean up thoroughly when we’re done.
Our team operates Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 5 PM, and we’re available 24/7 for emergency situations. Because when a tree falls across your driveway during a storm or your drainage system backs up, you need someone who answers the phone and gets there fast.
The Full-Service Approach That Saves You Time and Headaches
One thing that sets us apart is that you won’t need to coordinate multiple contractors for your project. We handle everything from initial site assessment to final cleanup. Need land cleared before we start grading? We’ve got specialized forestry mulching equipment. Hit some stubborn rocks during excavation? Our rock removal and earth moving services take care of that. Want to add a retaining wall and landscape construction after we finish the drainage work? We do that too.
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.
This comprehensive approach means fewer scheduling conflicts, better project coordination, and one point of contact throughout your entire project. You’re not juggling phone calls with three different companies or dealing with contractors who blame each other when something goes wrong.
We also handle all the permit paperwork and regulatory compliance, so you don’t have to navigate Connecticut’s excavation requirements on your own. We’re fully licensed and insured, which should be a given but unfortunately isn’t always the case in our industry.
Our Most Popular Services
Every property has different needs, which is why we’ve built our capabilities to handle whatever challenges come up. Our excavation services cover everything from foundation preparation and site grading to utility trenching and septic system installation. When you need precise earthwork that meets building codes and stands the test of time, that’s what we deliver.
Our drainage solutions tackle both surface and subsurface water problems. We install French drains, catch basins, dry wells, and complete stormwater management systems. If water is pooling where it shouldn’t or flowing toward your foundation, we’ll design a system that sends it where it belongs.
For properties with overgrown areas, our land clearing and forestry mulching services prepare sites efficiently while minimizing environmental impact. We can take a densely wooded lot and have it ready for construction while leaving the soil healthy and stable.
Tree removal becomes necessary when storm-damaged or diseased trees pose safety hazards. We handle emergency removals 24/7 and can safely remove trees in tight spaces without damaging surrounding property. Our stump grinding service completes the job, leaving your property ready for whatever comes next.
Quality, Customization, and Support You Can Count On
Every project we take on reflects our commitment to doing things right the first time. We don’t cut corners on materials or rush through jobs to get to the next one. Quality work takes the time it takes, and we’d rather explain why something takes a few extra days than explain why it failed six months later.
We also understand that no two properties are exactly alike. Cookie-cutter solutions might be faster, but they rarely address your specific challenges. That’s why we take the time to really understand your property, your concerns, and your goals before we recommend any approach.
Our support doesn’t end when the equipment leaves your property either. We stand behind our work and we’re always available if questions come up or if you need guidance on maintenance. We want you to be completely satisfied not just when we finish, but years down the road when you see how well everything has held up.
This collaborative approach has earned us relationships with families who call us first whenever they need any kind of site work. That trust doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built one successful project at a time.
Why Connecticut Homeowners Trust Us
For over a decade, we’ve built our reputation on three simple principles: show up when we say we will, do quality work the first time, and treat every property like it’s our own. We’re not the flashiest company or the biggest outfit in Connecticut, but we are the team homeowners call when they want honest communication, fair pricing, and work that actually lasts.
