EXCAVATION SERVICES

LOT CLEARING AND SITE PREP
Busy Beavers provides turnkey lot clearing and site preparation in Lock Haven, Williamsport, and Bellefonte, removing trees, stumps, and brush with forestry mulchers and excavators. Once the vegetation is gone, our crew strips topsoil, grubs roots, and rough-grades the pad so builders can stake corners without delay. One call secures both tree removal and excavation services, eliminating costly hand-offs between contractors. If you need a build-ready lot in Central PA, we clear, level, and haul away debris on schedule and within budget.
FOUNDATIONS AND FOOTERS
From single-car garages to custom homes, Busy Beavers LLC digs precise foundations and footers, following your engineering specs to the inch. We cut trenches to exact depth, maintain proper frost line clearance, and leave spoil stockpiled for efficient backfill. We coordinate inspections, place gravel bases, and ensure clean, square edges so concrete crews can pour without rework. Builders across Clinton, Lycoming, and Centre Counties trust our accuracy to keep projects moving.


TRENCHES, SWALES, AND DRAINAGE
Proper drainage protects every structure, and our team is the best around when it comes to trenches and swales throughout Central PA to move water where you want it. Whether you’re installing utility lines or directing runoff away from a basement, we trench to the correct slope, lay aggregate or piping, and backfill to grade. The result is a dry, stable site that stands up to Pennsylvania’s heaviest rains.
DRIVEWAYS AND ACCESS ROADS
Busy Beavers builds sturdy driveways and access roads tailoring each project to soil conditions and traffic. We excavate to the required depth, lay geotextile fabric when needed, and install a well-compacted base that resists rutting and freeze–thaw heave. Culverts, crown grading, and roadside swales are added to manage stormwater and extend surface life, whether the lane serves a rural homestead, farm field, or construction site. From the first cut to the final roll, our crew delivers a smooth, durable driving surface that keeps your property accessible.


SITE GRADING AND MORE
Our crew provides precise site grading to create pads, lawns, and drainage pitches that meet builder specs. We spread screened topsoil, establish proper slopes away from foundations, and compact fill to prevent future settling. Additional services—soil import, boulder placement, minor demolition—are available to finish the job without calling another contractor. From rough grade to final contour, Busy Beavers delivers a stable, ready-for-construction surface every time.
