Working With Us

How do I get a quote?

Tell us the address, what you need and your timeline. You can call (724) 865-6120 or use our contact form, and we will talk through the project.

Do you work in the winter?

We work year-round for the most part, as long as the weather allows. Wet dirt cannot be moved well and frozen ground has limits, so rain and winter can delay a project.

Do I need a permit?

Requirements differ by township and county. Some places require a permit to move dirt, some require stormwater permits, and building projects need their own approvals. Check with your township early and tell us what they require.

Do I need to call 811 before digging?

Yes. Pennsylvania and Ohio both require a call to 811 before excavation so buried utilities are marked.

Are you hiring?

We are interested in CDL drivers, equipment operators and laborers. See our careers page.

We serve 11 Pennsylvania counties (Lawrence, Beaver, Butler, Mercer, Allegheny, Armstrong, Venango, Clarion, Crawford, Washington and Westmoreland) and 3 Ohio counties (Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana). See our service area map.
