Our Special Light Excavation Services
Trenching for Utilities & Drainage Services
It may be necessary to install electrical conduits, water lines, or perimeter drains as part of the project scope. We perform clean, narrow trenching work that ensures proper depth and alignment while protecting existing infrastructure. Every trench is cut with accuracy to reduce rework and installation time.
Ditch Digging & Water Control Services
We create shallow or moderate-depth ditches to assist with water flow and erosion control. These ditches can support swales, culverts, or drainage plans designed to redirect runoff and protect surrounding areas from water damage. Our ditch work helps manage standing water, guide storm runoff, and reduce flooding in low-lying areas.
Foundation Pads & Prep Work Services
We handle excavation and leveling for foundation pads with proper slope and compaction. This prep work ensures a durable and structurally sound base for whatever you build next. Our service includes clearing the footprint, compacting subgrade material, and grading to exact elevations.

Testimonials
Jamie answered all of my Questions and concerns. This is a family owned business and has been around since the 50s. This was by far the fairest quote that I got. Jamie was able to come out to my house within 30 minutes of my call. He explained in great detail what he was going to be doing. Once the work is completed, I will update the review! Work Completed update: Jamie and his team was out here in the afternoon by 2 PM. By 2:30 PM He had the new well installed after pulling the old one and water flowing in my house again. A huge thank you from my family to you. You could tell he has years of experience on the job. Everything was done very professionally, and he cleaned up after. I highly recommend Jamie for any well or septic needs. 10 stars

We contacted Mr. Sandifer on Wednesday afternoon, 3-8, about him coming out to give us an estimate to have our whole septic system replaced after finding out during a pump out that it was collapsing on itself. He came out the following day (3-9) to look at what we had to work with & was very prompt in giving us an estimate & explaining everything he'd need to do. We let him know to please place us on his books to have it replaced. By 3-10, he gave us a call to let us know he'd be able to come do the job on Monday, 3-13. He & his crew were very professional & prompt in their work, leaving our yard looking great after replacing our septic tank & installing 200ft of drain line. 100% will recommend him to anyone I know needing any kind of well or septic work!
