Excavation & Site Work
Residential and commercial excavation — trenching, grading, land clearing, and site preparation managed by one crew from start to finish.
One crew for every part of your site work.
Richards Septic Tank Service brings the same dependability to excavation and site work that we bring to septic. From trenching and land clearing to grading and foundation excavation, our crew and equipment handle your project from raw ground to finished site — no subcontractor shuffle, no missed handoffs.
Because we do septic and excavation under one roof, your project moves smoother. The same crew that digs your basement can set your septic tank and grade your driveway. One point of contact, one schedule, one crew that owns the job from start to finish.
