Montgomery Township & Skillman, Somerset County
Excavation & Grading in Montgomery & Skillman, NJ
The newer neighborhoods around Montgomery and Skillman are built for living, not for heavy machinery. We do foundation excavation, grading, and hardscape site prep that fits the finished yards in these developments.
A lot of Montgomery and Skillman is fairly new: planned subdivisions and upscale homes on landscaped lots that already have cured lawns, irrigation, and finished hardscape. The job here is a little different. The property is polished, and the work has to leave it that way.
That's what we're good at. Footings for a pool house, the compacted base for a new paver patio, or re-grading a backyard that never drained right: we bring compact machines that fit through the gates, plan the access, and work around the finishes that are already in.
Every job is owner-operated and by appointment, scheduled to stay out of the way of your home, your landscaping, and your neighbors.

Built for finished subdivisions
From the established streets around Skillman and Belle Mead to the newer developments across Montgomery Township, these lots usually have irrigation lines, mature foundation plantings, and existing patios or decks that all need to come through the project untouched.
So we plan the access through the side-yard gates, protect the lawns and beds along the route, and keep the work zone contained. The only thing that should look different afterward is the new patio base, footing, or regraded lawn you hired us for.
