What We Excavate

Precision Work for
Every
Type of Project

From a single trench to a full site excavation — we assess the terrain and execute to spec.

Foundation & Footing Prep

Precise excavation for foundations, footings, and basements. We dig to spec and leave a clean, level surface ready for your contractor.

Trenching & Utilities

Clean, accurate trenching for water lines, septic systems, electrical conduit, and drainage pipe installation.

Grading & Leveling

Rough and finish grading to establish proper slope, drainage flow, and a level base for construction or landscaping.

Pond & Drainage Excavation

Excavation for retention ponds, drainage swales, and water management features tailored to your land's natural contours.

The Machine

Professional Grade.
No Compromises.

The CAT 12,000 lb mini excavator is the workhorse of every MTL excavation project. Compact enough for tight residential yards, powerful enough to handle the toughest terrain in western Pennsylvania.

High Breakout Force

Cuts through dense clay, rock-laden soil, and compacted fill that lighter machines can't touch.

Compact Footprint

Narrow enough to access residential lots, backyard projects, and properties with limited access.

Precision Control

Experienced operator control means clean, accurate digging with minimal disturbance to surrounding areas.

Owner on Every Job

Jason Liddle operates the machine himself on every project. You're not getting a sub — you're getting 20+ years of excavation knowledge on your property.

Clear Communication

We walk every site before we quote, explain exactly what we'll do, and check in throughout the project. No surprises on the invoice.

Property Respect

We protect what isn't being excavated. Lawn protection, tight operation near structures, and clean site exit — always.
