What we do

Dirt work, land clearing and excavation services

Every job here starts with ground that has to change shape. Clearing, grading, house pads, ponds, driveways, rock and hauling are all part of what we do.

Cleared ground with the pushed-up brush and root piles waiting to be hauled off

Land Clearing

We clear wooded lots and overgrown acreage with the dozer and trackhoe. Trees and stumps come out, the debris gets hauled off, and the ground is left rough graded.

Forestry Mulching

We mulch brush, briars and small trees in place with a skid steer mulching head. The wood ends up as a mulch layer on the ground.

Dozer Work

Red clay house pad graded flat with the treeline behind

House Pads

We build house pads for new homes, barns, shops and metal buildings on lots across North Alabama. Fill comes in by the load, goes down in packed lifts and gets graded so water runs away from the building.

Rock spread and shaped on a driveway base

Rock Removal

Rock removal for house pads, driveways, ponds, pastures and fence lines across North Alabama. Trackhoes with rippers break the rock loose, and the dump trucks haul it off.

Pond bank cleared and dressed with the water back in view

Pond Construction

We dig new farm ponds, enlarge old ones and clean out ponds that have silted in. The trackhoe cuts the basin, the dozer shapes the bank, and the spoil gets spread or hauled off.

New gravel driveway and pad at a home site

Gravel Driveways

We build new gravel driveways and farm roads, and regrade old ones that have rutted or washed out. Base cut, crown shaped, ditches cut, rock hauled in and graded out.

We tear down old houses, barns, sheds, mobile homes and concrete slabs with the trackhoe. The dump trucks haul the debris off and the ground gets leveled behind us.

Anything and everything dirt

One company from clearing through haul off

Dirt work covers a lot of ground here. It means digging and grading, clearing a wooded lot and cutting a pad for a house or shop. It also means ponds, gravel driveways, pulling rock and tearing down an old barn. We run trackhoes, a crawler dozer and a skid steer with a mulching head.

The trucks matter as much as the machines. Two dump trucks bring fill dirt, gravel and crusher run in, and carry spoil, rock and debris back out. A lowboy trailer moves our machines to the property. So the clearing, the pad, the driveway and the haul off all run through one company.

A job starts with a look at the ground. We come out, see what is on it and what is under it, then price the work. After that the machines and trucks come in, and the ground gets cleaned up at the end. We work about 60 miles out from Trinity, all inside Alabama, and the estimate is free. Photos from finished jobs are on our work page.

Meet Precision Excavation
Why Choose Precision Excavation

Built for Dirt Work in North Alabama

Trackhoes, a dozer and dump trucks

The excavators, the crawler dozer, the skid steer mulcher and two dump trucks belong to the company. A lowboy trailer hauls them to your property. One call puts all of it on the job.

Clearing through haul off

The same company clears the lot, cuts the pad, shapes the drive and hauls the debris away. You line up one contractor for the dirt side of the work.

Built for rocky ground

North Alabama sits on limestone and chert, often close to the surface. Our trackhoes carry rippers, so rock that stops a tractor or a post hole digger comes out. It gets moved, buried or hauled off.

How We Work

How a Job With Precision Excavation Runs

From the first call or text to the last load hauled off, here is how it goes.

1

Call or text

Tell us what you have and where the property is. Photos of the ground help. Call or text (256) 303-7210 and we set a time to come look.

2

We look at the ground

We come out and see the job in person. Trees, slope, wet spots and rock all change the work. The estimate comes after that, and it is free.

3

We plan the approach

We decide which machines the job needs and in what order they work. Access, where the dirt goes and where the debris goes get settled first. Alabama 811 gets called before any digging starts.

4

Machines and trucks come in

Our lowboy brings the machines to the property and the work starts. The dump trucks bring material in and carry spoil, rock and debris out. We work in an order that keeps water running off the ground.

5

Cleanup and final grade

The debris leaves the property and the dirt gets rough graded back out. Water is shaped to run away from the pad, the drive or the house. Then we look the job over with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Excavation and Dirt Work?

The questions North Alabama homeowners and landowners ask us most. If yours is not here, call or text and we will answer it.

Call (256) 303-7210

How do you price a dirt work job?
Price comes down to what is on the ground and how much of it has to move. Trees, rock, wet dirt, the haul distance and how far the machines travel all change the number. That cannot be priced off a photo, so we come look at the ground first. The estimate is free.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free, and we do them on the property so we can see the ground for ourselves. Call or text (256) 303-7210 and we will set a time.
What areas do you serve?
We are an excavation contractor based in Trinity, and we work about 60 miles out. All of it is inside Alabama. That takes in Morgan, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Cullman, Lauderdale, Colbert, Franklin, Winston, Marshall and Walker counties. Decatur is next door, and we travel to Huntsville, Madison, Athens, Cullman and the Shoals.
Can you dig in rocky ground?
Yes. The ground here has limestone and chert in it, often close to the surface. Our trackhoes carry rippers that break layered rock loose so the bucket can lift it out. Solid bedrock is a different job, and we tell you if we run into it.
What is the difference between land clearing and forestry mulching?
Land clearing takes everything off the ground, stumps and roots included, and the debris gets hauled away. Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees where they stand and leaves the chips lying on the ground. Clearing is the pick when you plan to build or grade. Mulching suits underbrush, trails and land you want to keep wooded.
What happens to the trees, dirt and debris?
Our dump trucks haul it off the property. Dirt and rock can also be spread or buried on site when there is a spot for it. If you want to keep the wood, tell us where to pile it. Burning is the landowner's call, and burn permits in Alabama come from the Alabama Forestry Commission.
Do you build house pads and gravel driveways?
Yes. We cut and build pads for houses, barns, shops and metal buildings, with fill brought in and packed in lifts. We also build new gravel driveways and farm roads and regrade old ones. Both get shaped so water sheds off instead of standing.
What should I have ready before you start?
Know where your property lines run, and flag them if you can. Point out the trees you want kept and anything on the ground we should work around. We call Alabama 811 before we dig, which is free and gets the buried utility lines marked. Alabama 811 asks for at least two working days of notice, not counting the day it is called.
