Excavation Services in the Hudson Valley
Red Cedar provides excavation that sets projects up the right way—clean sitework, controlled water, and dependable results. We work with high-end residential estates and commercial properties across the Hudson Valley, handling land clearing, drainage and water management, and septic systems. Clear communication, serious equipment, and no surprises.
What We Do
- Land clearing for new projects and property improvements
- Drainage & water management (French drains, swales, culverts)
- Septic excavation and septic system work (scope as needed)
- Site preparation built for long-term performance
- Coordination-minded work for premium properties and commercial sites
Our Process
1. Site visit + evaluation — access, grade, soil, water flow, and goals
2. Define the scope — what needs to happen and what “done right” looks like
3. Proposal + plan — clear scope, expectations, and schedule alignment
4. Pre-job setup — utilities/locates, access planning, staging and protection
5. Excavation + installation — efficient work, clean site management, ongoing updates
6. Backfill + finish — restore the site properly and prep for next trades
7. Final walkthrough — confirm outcomes and next-step recommendations
Common Problems We Solve
- Standing water, washouts, and “it floods every time it rains” issues
- Poor drainage around structures, drive lanes, or walk areas
- Sites that need clearing before building can begin
- Septic projects that require a crew who plans access and site impact
- Property managers who need dependable scheduling and communication
