At Land and Lumber Excavation, our focus is simple:
deliver work that improves the value, function, and long-term performance of your property.
We specialize in land development for properties where quality matters.
Our Approach:
Built on What You Don’t See
What separates a driveway, septic system, or site project that lasts from one that fails comes down to what’s underneath.
Proper base preparation
Water management and drainage
Clean, intentional grading
Quality materials and proven installation methods
This approach prevents common issues like washouts, rutting, settling, and premature failure—saving you time and money long-term.
Who We Work With:
Property owners who want more than a quick job
Larger residential & recreational properties
Rural and acreage owners
Property improvements and upgrades
New builds and land development
Our clients value quality, understand long-term investment, and want work that performs as well as it looks.
Every project is approached with the goal of doing it right the first time
We’re not in the business of quick fixes or temporary solutions. Whether you’re developing raw land or upgrading an existing property, we bring the experience, equipment, and attention to detail needed to deliver a finished result that lasts.

Both have their place. Gravel is more affordable upfront, while millings provide a more durable, compact surface that performs better over time—especially on slopes and high-use driveways. If you plow, go with millings.
-
We can guide you through the process and coordinate as needed, but requirements vary by township and county. We ensure the installation meets all necessary standards and local requirements.
-
In some cases, we can regrade and refresh an existing driveway without a significant amount of new material, as long as the base is functioning. However, if the base is failing, a rebuild is often the best long-term solution.
