Excavation and Site Work Near Wexford, PA
Wexford is a community in the north hills of Allegheny County, in and around Pine Township, close to Cranberry and the Butler County line. Valley Brook Services serves the Wexford area and all of Allegheny County. We also install and replace septic systems in Pennsylvania.
Wexford's hills and well-established neighborhoods mean sloped lots and tighter access, so planning the dig, the trucking and the grade ahead of time matters. Allegheny County is the most densely built county we serve, and its hills, tight lots and older infrastructure shape how excavation gets done here.
Our Services Near Wexford
If your property is in or near Wexford, here is what we can do for you.
Site Preparation & Development in the Wexford area
Whether you are putting up a garage, a pole barn or a house, the pad has to be built right. In the Wexford area, 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 the Wexford area
Footers, foundation digs and backfill are the core of our work for builders. If your project in the Wexford area needs a foundation dug on a schedule, this is the work we do every week.
Septic System Installation in the Wexford area
If you are building in the Wexford area on a lot without sewer, or your existing system needs a full replacement, we can handle the excavation and installation. We will also explain the test-hole, percolation and permit process if you have not been through it yet.
Underground Utilities & Stormwater in the Wexford area
Pipe and stormwater work are part of our full-package excavation. In the Wexford area, 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 the Wexford area
In the Wexford area, 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 the Wexford area
If a lot in the Wexford area 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 the Wexford area
If an old house, garage or outbuilding in the Wexford area 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 the Wexford area
Pond construction in the Wexford area 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 the Wexford area
Having our own trucks matters on every job. In the Wexford area, our drivers and trucks work alongside our excavation crews and haul our own stone to the site.

Call (724) 865-6120Who We Work With in the Wexford area
We work for several area home builders and take on commercial and private projects as well. In the Wexford area, 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 the Wexford area
Requirements for site work differ from one township and county to the next. In the Wexford area, 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. Pennsylvania requires a call to 811 (PA One Call) before excavation, so buried utilities are marked.
For septic, Pennsylvania uses a permit process through the local sewage authority. Test holes are dug and the soil is tested for percolation as part of that process. If you already have a septic permit, you have been through it. If you do not, we will explain how it works so you know what comes first.
Weather and Ground Conditions in the Wexford area
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 the Wexford area, 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.
Before You Contact Us About a Project in the Wexford area
A little preparation helps us give you a useful answer quickly. When you reach out, it helps to have:
- The address or parcel location of the property, and the county
- What you need done: site prep, a pad, a foundation, utilities, grading, clearing, demolition, a pond or a septic system
- Whether the site is cleared, wooded or already partly built
- Any plans, stakes or drawings that already exist
- For septic: whether you already have a design and permit, or are starting from scratch
- Your target start date
If you do not have all of that yet, that is fine. Tell us what you know and we will help you work out the next step. You can call (724) 865-6120 or send us a message through our contact form.
