Our New Construction Services
New Home Construction Support
Building a new home starts with the right site prep. We handle excavation and grading, septic system design and installation, well and utility trenching, and storm water management to make sure your new home sits on a properly graded, well-drained lot from day one.
Home Additions
Adding a room, sunroom, or second story changes the way water and drainage move around your home. We provide excavation, footer digging, and grading for additions, along with drainage corrections to keep the expanded footprint protected from runoff and standing water.
Garage & Outbuilding Construction
Whether you're building a detached garage, workshop, or pole barn, proper site prep is essential for a stable, long-lasting structure. We handle excavation, grading, and gravel or millings driveway access leading up to the new structure.
Septic System Design & Installation
New construction almost always requires a new or upgraded septic system. We design and install septic systems sized correctly for your new home or addition, and can coordinate perk testing early in the planning process. Learn more on our septic services page.
Site Excavation & Grading
Our team provides full-site excavation, grading, and hydro-excavation services to prepare your lot, expose utility lines safely, and ensure proper drainage before construction begins. For projects near existing utility lines, we also offer soft digging to minimize the risk of damage.
Driveway & Access Road Installation
New homes, additions, and garages need reliable access. We install millings driveways and culverts as part of your new construction project, graded properly to shed water away from your new structure.
Storm Water & Drainage Planning
New construction changes how water flows across a property. We plan and install drainage systems — French drains, grading, culverts, and erosion control — to protect your new build from day one. Visit our storm water management page for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What site work is needed before building a new home?
Most new home builds require excavation and grading, septic system design and installation (or connection to public sewer), drainage planning, and driveway or access road installation. A perk test is also typically required before septic design can begin.
Do home additions require new excavation or drainage work?
Often, yes. Additions can change how water drains around your home, and footers need to be properly excavated and graded. We assess your existing drainage and septic setup before any addition work begins.
Can you handle septic design for a new construction project?
Yes. We design and install septic systems sized to your new home, addition, or property use, and can coordinate perk testing and county approvals as part of the process.
Do garages and outbuildings need the same site prep as a house?
Garages and outbuildings still need proper excavation, grading, and drainage planning, even though they typically don't require a septic connection. Proper grading prevents water from pooling around the new structure's foundation.
