Basement & Footing Excavation For Home Additions, Garages, or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Excavating for basements and footings has to be done with precision to make sure the ground is dug to the right depth and shape. Getting this step right means your foundation rests on strong, compacted soil, which helps prevent cracks, shifting, or settling later. Whether it’s for an addition, garage, or ADU, we handle excavation safely and efficiently so your project starts on solid ground and avoids issues down the road.
-
Anytime you’re building a new home, addition, garage, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Footing excavation is also necessary for certain retaining walls or other heavy structures.
Grading for Landscaping or New Constructions
Grading is a critical step in preparing any site. By leveling and shaping the ground, we improve drainage, prevent water pooling, and create a stable base for construction or landscaping.
As a licensed Maryland contractor, we handle grading projects in Severn and across Anne Arundel County with precision and discipline. Our team follows industry best practices and local compliance standards, so you can be confident the work is done safely, efficiently, and to code.
-
Common signs include standing water after rain, soil washing away on slopes, or uneven ground where you plan to build. Addressing these issues early not only protects your property but also sets a solid foundation for future projects. In many cases, grading is one of the simpler, less invasive fixes, improving drainage and stability without major disruption to your yard.
Gravel Driveway & Parking Pad Installation
Muddy access roads, flooding, standing water, and uneven driveways are common issues on both residential and rural properties in Anne Arundel and Baltimore County. We install gravel driveways, parking pads, and temporary access roads designed with proper grading and drainage to reduce washouts and erosion. Whether you need a new build or resurfacing, we create stable surfaces that hold up under regular use.
We can help with both new installs and resurfacing existing gravel drives.
-
Gravel is cost-effective, durable, and provides excellent drainage. It’s ideal for parking areas, access roads, and construction pads.
Brush & Lot Clearing Overgrowth and Debris on Properties
Maryland properties often face dense undergrowth, invasive plants, and fast-spreading vines like bamboo and wisteria. Left unchecked, this overgrowth can block access, hide hazards, and delay construction. Our brush and lot clearing services remove heavy vegetation, stumps, and debris to restore usable space and make your property accessible. Clearing also prepares the site for grading, excavation, new builds, landscaping, or utility installation.
-
In many cases, yes. Even smaller projects require clear access and level space. Removing brush and stumps keeps installation simple and avoids future issues with roots or drainage. If you have any questions about clearing projects, give us a call at (443) 346-4897.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Any excavation involves some level of ground disturbance, but we take every step to keep the impact controlled and limited to the work area. What sets us apart is our focus on restoration. Once the job is complete, we make every effort to return the site as close to its original condition as possible. We also use protective measures to safeguard landscaping, driveways, and surrounding features, so you can feel confident your property is in good hands.
-
Yes, we can clear the area and prepare the site for your new structure. We can handle the full process—from permitting or zoning (if required) to final site prep and construction support.
-
Yes. We’ve removed bamboo, wisteria, and other invasive plants for many customers. In most cases, complete removal of the plant and root system, followed by establishing a lawn and regular mowing (by the homeowner), is enough to keep regrowth under control. For harder-to-maintain areas, we can install in-ground barriers to prevent the spread.
-
We use compact and full-size excavation equipment based on site access and project size, allowing us to work efficiently on both small and large sites.
-
Yes, but only as long as you have a gate that allows at least 6 ft wide access. If you have a fence that has an access point smaller than 6 ft, we would take part of the fence down and put up a temporary fence for the duration of the project.
-
Yes. We assist with necessary permitting and make sure all work meets local code requirements. We are familiar with area regulations around Anne Arundel and Baltimore County and handle compliance as part of the project.
