Precision Earthworks LLC did an amazing job clearing and regrading my backyard (about ½ acre). Matt and his crew were professional, hardworking, and communicated extremely well from scheduling through completion. They worked two full days—nearly 10 hours each day—and the results speak for themselves. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them. A picture is worth a thousand words—see below!

Expert Excavation in Sussex County, NJ
Precision Earthworks handles excavation projects across Sussex County, from foundation digging and land clearing to utility trenching and site grading. Sussex County terrain presents real challenges. The county sits on glacially deposited soils with more than 100 individual soil types, and many properties run into ledge rock, boulders, or stony slopes before reaching stable ground. Freeze-thaw cycles here also require foundations to be dug well below the frost line to prevent heaving and structural movement. We assess each site before work begins, match the right equipment to the conditions, and grade to exact specifications so your builder can move forward without rework. Projects disturbing more than 5,000 square feet in Sussex County require Soil Erosion and Sediment Control certification from the Sussex County Soil Conservation District. We coordinate that process so nothing stalls your build. Whether you are breaking ground on a new home, adding a driveway, or preparing a commercial lot, call Precision Earthworks to schedule your site evaluation.
