From wet yards and blocked building plans to overgrown ground and structures that need removal, Salz Drainage and Excavating handles the dirt work that helps a property move forward. Review the service groups below, then contact us for a free estimate based on your site.
Start with excavation for foundation or trench work, drainage improvements for recurring water problems, or land clearing when access and vegetation are the first obstacles.
Services
Address water around yards, lots, basements and foundations with project-specific drainage work. Available scopes include French drains, drain tile systems, basement and foundation drainage, and yard or lot drainage.
Move and open ground for foundations, trenches and broader earthwork needs. Excavation scopes include basement and foundation excavation and trench excavation.
Create usable access and open overgrown areas through forestry mulching, brush and underbrush clearing, lot and site clearing, or pasture and farm land clearing.
Remove structures and hardscape that stand in the way of the next use. Services include residential demolition, commercial and structural demolition, concrete removal, and pool removal with fill-in.
Discuss new or existing pond work, including farm and stock pond construction, pond excavation and dredging, and pond dams or spillways.
Prepare ground for construction and placement through grading and leveling, building pad and concrete preparation, and pole barn or shed site preparation.
Support working ground with field tile installation and farm tile repair or maintenance. The exact scope begins with the affected area and what the existing system is doing.
Open trenches for electrical conduit, water or sewer lines within the legal and project-specific scope Salz can perform. Coordination responsibilities and final connections must be clarified before work begins.
Some projects cross service lines. Describe the existing condition, intended result, property location and access when you contact us. Free estimates are available, and the first job is to identify a practical scope—not to make an unsupported promise.

Adam tells clients the truth about a project’s scope and cost, even when it’s not what they want to hear. It’s a big reason customers call back for the next job and recommend Salz Drainage and Excavating to their neighbors.
Adam is on-site and involved in every project, not just estimating the work and handing it off. That hands-on approach means fewer surprises and a crew that’s accountable for the result.
Excavators, dozers, scrapers, and a forestry mulcher are all owned and operated in-house, so there’s no waiting on rental equipment or subcontractors to get a job started.
By keeping overhead lower than larger competitors carrying heavy equipment payments, Salz Drainage and Excavating can price jobs fairly without cutting corners on the work.
