Reliable Excavation & site development
We prepare your property for building with safe, efficient grading, digging, and site work done right.
Service Details
At Brush Busters Trucking&Excavation, we handle excavation and site development work that sets your project up the right way from the start. Whether you are building a home, adding a driveway, improving a commercial lot, or preparing raw land for construction, we bring the equipment, planning, and field experience to get the site ready for the next phase.
Our excavation services include site prep, grading, land shaping, foundation excavation, trenching, driveway excavation, drainage correction, and general earthmoving. We also help with lot clearing when a property needs brush, small trees, stumps, or debris removed before digging begins. Because we come from a strong land-clearing and forestry background, we understand how to open up a site efficiently while protecting the areas you want to keep.
Site development is more than moving dirt. A good site needs proper slope, stable ground, clean access, and water management that works in real weather. We pay close attention to grade, drainage flow, soil conditions, and the overall layout of the property. That helps reduce problems later, such as standing water, erosion, soft spots, and poor access for other trades.
We work with residential and commercial customers across the Wausau and Stevens Point areas on projects of many sizes. Some clients need rough grading for a new build. Others call us for pad prep, utility trenching, driveway base work, or reshaping land to improve use and appearance. No matter the scope, our goal is the same: safe, reliable excavation work done with care and clear communication.
As a family-owned and operated company, we take pride in being hands-on from start to finish. Our licensed and insured team shows up ready to work, respects your property, and focuses on quality results that hold up over time. If you need excavation and site development for a residential or commercial project, contact Brush Busters Trucking&Excavation for a free estimate and let us help you build on solid ground.

Our Excavation & Site Development Process
We keep excavation projects organized, safe, and moving forward with clear communication, solid planning, and hands-on work from start to finish.
On-Site Visit & Project Review
We start with a site visit to walk the property, review grades, drainage, access, and soil conditions, and understand exactly what you need for your build or land improvement project. Then we provide a clear estimate, realistic timeline, and straightforward plan so you know what to expect before any digging begins.
Layout, Prep & Excavation
Once approved, we handle site layout, prep the work area, and bring in the right equipment for precise excavation, grading, trenching, or pad preparation. We work carefully to manage runoff, protect surrounding areas, and keep the job site safe, efficient, and ready for the next phase of construction.
Final Grading & Walkthrough
Before we wrap up, we fine-tune the grade, check elevations, and make sure the site is clean, stable, and built to plan for proper drainage and long-term performance. We finish with a walkthrough with you to confirm the work meets expectations and that your site is ready for the next step.
