We Know the Soil

Franklin Township sits uniquely within a transitional zone between the Piedmont Province and the Atlantic Coastal Plain Province. Because we understand the local subsurface strata, we deploy the right equipment and techniques for your specific neighborhood, whether that involves tackling dense shale or the sands and gravels found atop Little Rocky Hill.

We Handle the Red Tape

Every land-disturbing activity in Franklin Township must comply with Chapter 206 of the Municipal Code. We ensure your project meets all local regulations regarding soil disturbance, tree preservation, and topsoil protection. For larger projects exceeding 5,000 square feet, we seamlessly coordinate your required plan certifications with the Somerset-Union Soil Conservation District (SUSCD).

We Dig With Care

We strictly adhere to the New Jersey Underground Facility Protection Act (the "One Call Law") to protect your property and our crews. We legally secure utility markouts by calling 811 between 3 and 10 business days before starting any excavation. Furthermore, we mandate safe hand-digging practices within the 24-inch tolerance zone of any marked facility before mechanized equipment is ever used.

Your "One-Stop" Site Contractor

We eliminate the scheduling conflicts and communication breakdowns that come with hiring multiple subcontractors. From initial land and lot clearing to fine grading, septic installations, complex drainage solutions, and pool removals, we handle every phase of your site preparation in-house.

Total Peace of Mind

To legally perform residential excavation and grading in New Jersey, contractors must maintain strict credentialing. We are fully registered as a Home Improvement Contractor Business (HICB) with the Division of Consumer Affairs. We also maintain robust Commercial General Liability insurance (minimum $500,000 per occurrence) and active Workers' Compensation coverage, guaranteeing that you and your property are fully protected.

Engineered for Local Soil and Water Conditions

Navigating the transitional geology between the Piedmont Province and the Atlantic Coastal Plain requires highly specific expertise. We know exactly how to manage the heavy clay soils of Franklin Park, the high water tables of Kingston, and the severe flooding risks associated with the Millstone River and Delaware & Raritan Canal. Our drainage and grading solutions are built to withstand the unique environmental realities of Somerset County.

We Navigate the Red Tape for You

Earth-moving projects in our area face strict regulatory oversight, but we handle the compliance so you do not have to. We ensure every project adheres strictly to Chapter 206 of the Franklin Township Municipal Code, which rigorously governs soil disturbance, tree preservation, and topsoil protection. We also manage necessary certifications with the Somerset-Union Soil Conservation District to keep your project moving without costly legal delays.

Protecting Your Property and Our Crews

Safety is not just a buzzword; it is structurally built into our daily operations. We strictly comply with the New Jersey Underground Facility Protection Act by upholding our "811 Call Before You Dig" pledge on every single job. Furthermore, we mandate careful hand-digging practices within the two-foot utility tolerance zone and operate in full compliance with OSHA trenching and excavation standards.
