Light excavation project with walkway installation and drainage work — JLC & Landscaping

Precision Earthwork for Any Job

We offer light excavation services using a mini excavator, skid steer, and Toro Dingo for low-impact work and tight access areas. These compact machines allow us to work efficiently on residential and commercial properties without the disruption of heavy equipment.

Specializing in drainage solutions, we focus on moving water away from your home and landscape to help protect your property and prevent long-term issues. Poor drainage can lead to foundation damage, landscape erosion, and persistent water problems—we diagnose the root cause and implement solutions that last.

Whether you need a French drain installed, grading corrected, a dry creek bed designed, or site prep completed before a landscaping project, we have the equipment and expertise to get it done right.
