Site Work & Land Clearing

Site Work & Land Clearing in Marquette County

Professional Property Preparation for Central & Western Upper Michigan

Turning raw land into a build-ready pad takes more than chainsaws and dozers; it takes a crew that sees the finished project from the first tree down. Carey Septic, Sewer, & Excavating handles site work and land clearing for residential lots, commercial pads, and everything in between across the U.P. Our family team brings excavation roots and heavy equipment to clear stumps, grade precisely, and haul materials so you hand off a clean site to builders.

Marquette County properties often hide rocks, wet spots, and slopes under brush, slowing projects. We start with a full walk-through, marking wetlands and utilities before cutting a single tree. You get flat, stumped-free ground ready for footers or driveways without surprises.

If you need dependable site work service or land clearing in Marquette County, call (906) 680-5334 or contact us online to request an estimate and discuss your project.

Groundwork Done Right From Day One

Ever watch a crew clear half a lot then call in extra help when they hit stumps or ledge? Carey Septic, Sewer, & Excavating avoids that because our logging background taught us to read wooded parcels and move fast through brush piles taller than a man. We grind stumps below grade, sort burnable debris, and haul the rest so your site sits clean for surveyors or grading. Commercial jobs get stormwater layouts rough-graded before concrete pours.

Here is what makes our site work and land clearing different:

Why Quality Materials and Hauling Matter

A site is only as good as the materials used to build it up. In addition to our digging services, we provide reliable trucking to bring in the specific aggregates your project requires. Whether you are building a sub-base for a parking lot or finishing a residential yard, having the right stone or recycled materials on site is critical. We are straightforward about our costs and timelines, providing upfront pricing for both our labor and our material deliveries.

Our trucking and hauling services provide a wide range of essential materials:

  • Screened topsoil
  • Natural sand
  • Processed gravel
  • Recycled concrete
  • Recycled asphalt
  • Decorative stone

By managing both the excavation and the material delivery, we keep your project on a tighter schedule. You won't have to worry about coordinating between different contractors or waiting for a delivery that never shows up. Our family takes pride in being a one-stop shop for everything related to the exterior health and preparation of your land. Whether you need a septic system installation or a full site overhaul, we have the equipment and the local knowledge to get it done right.
