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 Site Preparation in Sussex County, NJ
Site preparation is the first and most important step before any construction begins in Sussex County. At Precision Earthworks, we clear vegetation, remove stumps, rough-grade the land, and shape drainage patterns so water moves away from your build area. Sussex County's glacial till soils, rocky terrain, and steep slopes require equipment and experience that match the conditions. Freeze-thaw cycles through the county's winters can shift and destabilize unprepared ground, making proper grading and compaction critical before any foundation work starts. We handle residential new builds, additions, outbuildings, and commercial pads. Every scope starts with a site read so we understand what the land needs before we move a single yard of material. Whether your lot is wooded, sloped, or sitting on rocky ground, we bring the right machines and the right process to get it ready. Call Precision Earthworks to schedule your site walk in Sussex County today.
