What we do
Excavation and site prep, end to end.
One crew, one point of contact — from first stake to a graded, drained, ready-to-build site.
Land Clearing
Brush, stump and debris removal to open up usable ground on your property.
Land Grading & Leveling
Cut, fill and finish-grade so the surface drains, builds and sits true.
Trench Digging
Clean utility, water and footing trenches dug to depth and to spec.
Drainage Excavation
Solve standing water with proper swales, French drains and runoff routing.
Retaining Walls
Engineered walls that hold grade and keep your slopes where they belong.
Driveway Reconditioning
Rebuild, regrade and re-gravel driveways for a smoother, longer-lasting surface.
Concrete Services
Slabs, pads and flatwork tied directly into the prep work we already did.
Site Preparation
Get the pad, access and grade ready for the next trade — building, paving or landscape.

Why SDH
Groundwork done by people
who stand behind it.
SDH Excavating & Land Solutions is built around the idea that the site prep is what makes or breaks the rest of the project. We move earth deliberately, communicate clearly, and leave a site that's ready for whatever comes next.
Built right the first time
Compaction, drainage and grade lines that hold up after the rain.
Direct communication
Talk to the person actually running your job — not a call center.
One crew, full scope
Clearing, grading, trenching and concrete handled by the same team.
Dependable on the calendar
Honest start dates and steady progress — Mon through Sat, 7 to 7.

Answers before you call.
What property owners and builders ask us most often before kicking off an excavation or site prep job.
Land clearing, land grading and leveling, trench digging, drainage excavation, retaining walls, driveway reconditioning, concrete services and full site preparation. If it involves moving earth or getting a property ready to build on, it's in our scope.
Yes. Drainage excavation is a regular scope for us — surface swales, French drains, regrading low spots and rerouting runoff so water stops collecting where it shouldn't.
That's exactly what site preparation means for us: clearing, rough grade, compaction, access and any required trenches so the next trade can start cleanly.
Every site is different, so we quote by scope rather than by the hour. Tell us what you're trying to accomplish and we'll come look at the property before putting numbers on it.
Monday through Saturday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Call or email and we'll get back to you the same working day whenever possible.
