Site Excavation

At John’s Septic & Excavation, we provide professional site excavation and grading services for residential properties, commercial buildings, new construction, land development, and major site improvement projects across Southeastern Pennsylvania. Our team delivers exact elevations, clean site preparation, and long-lasting grading work designed to support foundations, driveways, septic systems, stormwater systems, utilities, and full property development.

Whether you’re preparing a lot for a new home, leveling an area for a commercial building, or reshaping a property for proper drainage, we bring the equipment, skill, and accuracy needed to build a reliable, stable site.

Total Site Excavation & Lot Clearing

We excavate, clear, and prepare residential and commercial sites for construction. This includes removing vegetation, stripping topsoil, and shaping the site according to engineered designs.

Building Pad Excavation & Grading

We create stable, compacted building pads for homes, additions, garages, pole barns, commercial structures, and industrial buildings.

Rough & Finish Grading

We perform both rough grading to establish the general shape of the site and finish grading to prepare for landscaping, sod, concrete, or final construction phases.

Driveway & Access Road Excavation

Excavation and grading for new driveways, parking areas, and access roads, including preparation for stone, asphalt, or concrete.

Drainage Grading & Water Management

We reshape properties to direct water away from structures, eliminate pooling, and improve overall drainage performance.

We build engineered swales, channels, and contours to control water flow across residential and commercial properties.
