Excavation & Site Prep, Ready for the Builder

Once the land is cleared, we grade it, shape it and build the access so your contractor can show up and start. One crew from raw woods to a finished pad means no finger-pointing between trades.

Site preparation services

  • Building pads for homes, cabins, garages, barns and pole buildings
  • Rough and finish grading, cut and fill, leveling
  • Gravel driveways, access roads and turnarounds
  • Drainage — swales, ditching, culverts and grading water away from structures
  • Trenching for utilities and footing excavation
  • Rock and stump removal, topsoil stripping and stockpiling

Built for Catskills ground

Ledge, shale, clay pockets and spring water are all part of building here. We plan grades and drainage for the way water actually moves on your property — not the way it looks on a dry day in August — so your driveway doesn't wash out and your foundation stays dry.

Working with your builder

Send us the site plan or have your builder call us directly. We'll coordinate elevations, access and timing so the site is right the first time.

Excavation & Site Prep FAQ

Can you build my driveway from the road to the house site?

Yes. We clear the route, cut and grade the base, handle drainage and culverts, and lay and compact the gravel.

Do you work with builders and architects?

All the time. We'll work from your site plan and coordinate directly with your builder on grades and scheduling.

Are you licensed and insured for excavation work?

Yes. Ultimate Forestry LLC is fully insured and we'll provide a certificate of insurance on request.
