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 Septic System Installation in Sussex County, NJ
Precision Earthworks provides septic system installation for residential and rural properties throughout Sussex County. Many homes here rely on private septic because public sewer access is limited across the county's rural townships. Sussex County properties often present real site challenges: heavy glacial till, dense clay layers, high seasonal water tables, and shallow ledge rock. These conditions affect what system type your lot can support. Our process starts with a soil and site evaluation, including percolation testing, to read your property before any design work begins. From there, we build a system sized to your home's bedroom count and actual water use. Properties in the Highlands Region, which covers much of Sussex County, may also require additional environmental review under the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act. We coordinate that process so nothing falls through. Whether your lot calls for a conventional in-ground system or an engineered mound system, Precision Earthworks handles the installation from excavation through final grading. Call us to schedule your site evaluation.
