Excavation and Site Work in Trumbull County, Ohio

Valley Brook Services is a full-package excavation company serving Trumbull County, Ohio. Trumbull County is just across the state line from our home county, with the Mahoning River corridor, small cities and rolling suburban and farm ground. We serve the southern part of Trumbull County, which is a short drive from our office.

We do site preparation, foundation excavation and backfill, underground utilities and stormwater, grading and topsoil, land clearing, demolition, larger pond construction and trucking. In Ohio our work is site work only. We serve 14 counties across Western Pennsylvania and Northeast Ohio, and we have been in business since 2014.

What We Do in Trumbull County

Here is how each of our services fits the projects we see in this county. In Trumbull County, that includes site preparation & development, foundation excavation & backfill, underground utilities & stormwater, grading & topsoil, land clearing & lot clearing, demolition, pond construction, trucking & aggregate hauling.

Site Preparation & Development in Trumbull County

Whether you are putting up a garage, a pole barn or a house, the pad has to be built right. In Trumbull County, we build the pad to the size and grade the building needs, and we can handle the clearing, grading and utilities around it.

Foundation Excavation & Backfill in Trumbull County

Footers, foundation digs and backfill are the core of our work for builders. If your project in Trumbull County needs a foundation dug on a schedule, this is the work we do every week.

Underground Utilities & Stormwater in Trumbull County

Pipe and stormwater work are part of our full-package excavation. In Trumbull County, we can run the trench, bed and lay the pipe, and backfill, alongside the grading and site prep on the same job.

Grading & Topsoil in Trumbull County

In Trumbull County, we grade new lots for builders and developers and put down topsoil and final grade when the construction is done. We also take on commercial grading, including parking areas.

Land Clearing & Lot Clearing in Trumbull County

If a lot in Trumbull County is wooded or overgrown, clearing is the first step. We clear the site and can keep going into the pad, the foundation or the utilities.

Demolition in Trumbull County

If an old house, garage or outbuilding in Trumbull County has to come down before something new goes up, we handle the demolition, haul the debris with our own trucks and leave the lot ready for the next step.

Pond Construction in Trumbull County

Pond construction in Trumbull County is excavation on a big scale. We do not build small ornamental ponds, but for a larger pond we can excavate and shape the basin.

Trucking & Aggregate Hauling in Trumbull County

Having our own trucks matters on every job. In Trumbull County, our drivers and trucks work alongside our excavation crews and haul our own stone to the site.

Who We Work With in Trumbull County

We work for several area home builders and take on commercial and private projects as well. In Trumbull County, that means everything from a builder's next lot to a commercial site that needs grading and stormwater, to a landowner who needs a pad or a clearing.

We are a good fit for customers who value quality work over the cheapest number. People tell us the crew is professional and the work is quality, and we aim to earn that on every job.

Permits and Planning for Projects in Trumbull County

Requirements for site work differ from one township and county to the next. In Trumbull County, some projects need a permit to move dirt, some need a stormwater permit, and almost every building project needs its own approvals. We are not the permit office, so check with the local township or borough early and tell us what they require. Ohio requires a call to 811 (the Ohio Utilities Protection Service) before excavation, so buried utilities are marked.

Our Ohio work is site work only. We do not install septic systems in Ohio.

Weather and Ground Conditions in Trumbull County

We work year-round for the most part, as long as the weather lets us. Rain and wet dirt can set a project back, because wet dirt cannot be moved well, and frozen ground has its own limits. In Trumbull County, that means winter and the wettest weeks of spring can push a start date. We would rather tell you honestly when conditions will affect your project than promise a date we cannot keep.

If your project has a firm deadline, such as a closing date or a builder's schedule, tell us early so we can plan around it.

We do not install septic systems in Ohio. If your project is a good fit for a crew that digs, grades and hauls, tell us about it and we will talk it through.
