Solutions that fit your property

Start with the Groundwork.

Whether you're dealing with soggy ground, runoff near the home, or a site that needs to be prepared for an outdoor structure, CIG can discuss the scope and help determine the appropriate next steps.

Our focus is residential-scale excavation and site improvements in Washington, Pennsylvania and surrounding communities—not major commercial earthmoving.

Frequently asked questions

What Homeowners Often Ask

Does every wet yard need a French drain?

No. The right solution depends on soil, slope, drainage outlet, and where the water originates. Surface grading or other drainage measures may be more suitable.

Can you help with small excavation jobs?

Yes, residential-scale excavation, trenching, and site preparation are among the projects we'd like to discuss. We'll confirm the scope, access, and site conditions before providing an estimate.

Do I need to have plans ready?

Not necessarily. Tell us what is happening on the property and share photos if you have them. Images help us understand the situation, but they're optional.
