Grading and Excavating
Demolition
Using our 10ton rubber track excavator we are capable of lifting up to 8000 lbs making easy work breaking apart old garages or sheds. We have the ability to change attachments as well for example our concrete breaker can used on either our excavator or skidsteer. The breaker can be use for demolition of pools or old concrete steps. We’ve used it to break up old septic tanks. Additionally, our equipment is ideal for various grading tasks.
Our team can handle other tasks such as, leveling and digging to removing debris and fixing property drainage issues. Furthermore, our services include spreading topsoil, removing stumps, removing or installing hot tubs and digging ditches. We also provide erosion control solutions for properties facing erosion problems.
Drainage solutions
If water is pooling next to your house from decades of settling then it’s time to have NorthStead come and re-grade your property. We can be there strip or mulch your existing lawn and get that water running away from your home. We can create new swales to collect water and get it to flow out to the street or the ditch.
French drains & culvert repair
If you require an exterior french drain or sum pit we can auger a hole 33″ in diameter and 10′ deep. If you have a ditch running trough your driveway and the water is not following we can replace the culvert and repair your old Driveway.
Equipment
To tackle all aspects of excavation and grading projects, we use advanced track skid steers and a powerful 10-ton excavator. In addition, our skid steers come with a variety of attachments, including a post hole auger, concrete breaker, and hydra-bucket, which enable us to mulch sod and grade lawns efficiently. The excavator is perfect for digging ditches, constructing boulder retaining walls, and building natural stone steps.
Road construction
If you need a private road constructed on soft or swampy ground, our experienced team can help. To build driveways or roads through swamps, we have used the “Corduroyd road” construction method. Using trees that you need to have removed will help save on the aggregate cost and disposal fees. This involves the technique of placing logs perpendicular to the direction of the road over a low swampy area and coupling them with geotextile fabric and new aggregates to create a strong road.
Driveway Grading
Have a gravel driveway or need a pathway repaired? NorthStead has the ability to turnover your existing materials and re-grade fixing any isssues you have. We can add or remove materials to adjust the slope and fill in potholes. Once done shaping the driveway we compact the area using our diesel packer.
