Reliable Drainage & Erosion Control
We fix runoff, standing water, and soil loss to protect your land, foundation, and investment.
Drainage & Erosion Control
Water can do a lot of damage when it does not have a proper path. At Brush Busters Trucking&Excavation, we provide drainage and erosion control services that help protect your land, driveway, building site, and investment. We work with homeowners, landowners, and commercial clients in the Wausau and Stevens Point areas to solve runoff problems, standing water, washouts, and soil loss with practical excavation solutions that are built to last.
Our drainage work is designed to move water away from the places it should not be. That may include grading and regrading, swale installation, ditch shaping, culvert installation, trenching, and site drainage improvements. If your yard stays soggy, your gravel driveway washes out, or water collects near a foundation, we can evaluate the slope, soil conditions, and flow patterns to recommend the right fix. Good drainage is not just about comfort. It helps prevent long-term damage to structures, landscaping, access roads, and usable land.
Erosion control is just as important, especially on sloped ground, cleared land, driveways, trails, and construction sites. We help stabilize soil and reduce runoff so your property holds up through heavy rain and seasonal changes. Depending on the site, our work may include surface grading, berms, drainage channels, culvert work, and other erosion control measures that support better water management. The goal is simple: keep soil in place, direct water safely, and reduce future repair costs.
Because we also handle land clearing and forestry-related excavation, we understand how drainage and erosion issues often connect to wooded lots, brush removal, new access routes, and disturbed ground. That experience helps us look at the whole property, not just one wet spot. We focus on practical results, clean workmanship, and solutions that fit the way your land is used.
As a family-owned and operated company, we take pride in being dependable, straightforward, and easy to work with. Our licensed and insured team provides free estimates and honest recommendations based on real field experience. If you are dealing with pooling water, runoff, muddy areas, or erosion around your property, contact Brush Busters Trucking&Excavation to schedule an estimate and get a drainage plan that works.
Our Drainage & Erosion Control Process
We keep drainage problems from turning into costly damage by starting with a clear site plan, doing the excavation work right, and finishing with a thorough final walkthrough so you know your property is protected.
On-Site Evaluation & Drainage Plan
We visit your property to inspect standing water, washouts, slope, soil movement, and runoff patterns around foundations, driveways, and yards. Then we build a practical drainage and erosion control plan with a clear timeline, scope, and free estimate based on your site conditions.
Targeted Excavation & Control Work
Once approved, we schedule the job and install the right solution, whether that means grading, swales, trenching, culverts, drain tile, or erosion control measures. Our crew works carefully to move water away from problem areas, protect surrounding ground, and keep the project on track from start to finish.
Final Check & Site Walkthrough
After the work is complete, we fine-tune drainage flow, stabilize disturbed areas, and clean up the site so it is safe and functional. We walk the project with you, explain what was done, and make sure you feel confident the drainage system is built to last.
