Excavation & Land Services in Athens, WI
Land clearing, drainage, culverts, and driveway work for homeowners, farms, and the Athens community.
Athens has been one of our most active markets outside our immediate home area — we've done everything here from full land clearing projects to emergency culvert replacements to a memorial trail built for a friend. If it involves dirt, drainage, or land, there's a good chance we've already done a version of it somewhere around Athens.

Forestry mulching, brush hogging, and stump removal to open up overgrown acreage for building sites, pasture, food plots, or trails.

Built for Athens Ground
Athens sits along the Trappe River, and a lot of our work here reflects that — drainage lines, culvert work, and grading that has to account for how water moves through the area. We've also done enough forestry mulching and land clearing around Athens to know the mix of wooded and open ground that comes with it.
