T & T Underground is an accredited and distinguished excavation company specializing in civil- site work, underground utilities and excavation. First established as T & T Designs and Construction in 2006, our evolution into T & T Underground in 2016 marked a strategic shift towards our specialization in providing excavation and civil Contracting services and proving to be one of the most active leaders in industry.

"T&T Designs and Construction did a fantastic job with our project. We were forced to eliminate our current septic system and convert to the city sewer which was a pretty big project. The whole thing was around 600 feet long and also had to do a new sewer tap. It was very deep (around 20 feet) to the city sewer. Nick & his Team handled it quickly and professionally. We really appreciated how careful they were with our property. They managed to install the new line and avoid damaging our newer asphalt driveway by doing a long curve around the parameter to avoid everything. Connecting to the deep sewer line was no problem for them. The crew was great to work with. They were always considerate and making sure things were safe and tidy. They even fixed all the grass they dug up. What really surprised us was they used asphalt millings to improve our dirt driveway without charging us anything. We're very happy with their work and would definitely recommend T&T Designs."

Complete Plumbing and Sewer and Drain Cleaning Company

"Beware! They charge 125.00 for an estimate that’s 3 times higher than anyone else, but they forget to tell you they charge for estimate. Owner Dave is the rudest,unprofessional, very dishonest person I’ve ever encountered in a business. Don’t walk, run from this business"

Hi! This is Gary, the owner of GM Construction. I started in wood and custom cabinetry and studied under a master carpenter for many years before starting my own business. I designed GM Construction to stand head-and-shoulders above the competition in many ways. Here are a few examples: First, I personally do a complimentary consultation with each homeowner. I listen to what you envision for your project and bring sample materials with me to educate you on the pros and cons of all your options. From my vast hands-on experience, I can offer suggestions when appropriate so that your project will complement your home and lifestyle. Second, I'm there on every project to manage and guarantee the highest quality work every step along the way. I do not use sub-contractors like my competition. I use my own experienced, top notch crew and my crew is extremely diligent to be non-invasive to the parts of your home/yard, plus leave a clean work environment every night. Third, you will be satisfied with your project's outcome. I take care to make sure that every client is well taken care of and gets the wow factor in the work we complete. My business is booming because of the great referrals my clients and work produce. Take me up on my free in-home consultation so that you can experience the difference working with GM Construction. - Best! Gary Suchland

"The build went great, excellent communication from everyone. Job was done earlier than expected even with them a man short for a few days. Angela and Gary outlined everything we should expect, worked around scheduling weirdness due to having a new born coming and delivered a great product. Great company, I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is planning on doing anything with an outdoor space. Gary's design was spot on, and turned out better than we even imagined."

"We hired Thatcher and son Plumbing to complete our water line repair back to the city's Tap. Little did we know that they don't do excavating and that is what is needed to complete the job. the job was started in June 2023 and isn't still complete in August 2024. per the city they were supposed to relay the city's cement in the alley slab to slab, because they hire a 3rd party company Ready Dig Excavation without our knowledge to do the excavating. We have requested all the paperwork and this to include to city permit and drawings for the job, and yet to received, I have called and left messages and sent txt and email to no avail. this company is a rip off and if they tell you they do sewer tap work don't believe them they are posing as contractor and they have to sub the work out"

Building site preparation and clearings FAQs

A professional team can clear an acre of land in as little as two to twelve hours, depending on your land's condition. You'll need to consider factors like vegetation density, terrain features, and obstacles such as trees, stumps, rocks, or existing structures can increase the time required. If your land is heavily wooded or has uneven terrain, expect the process to take longer and require more effort.

If you're looking to clear land for a pasture, expect to pay between $400 and $600 per acre for forestry mulching or $500 to $5,600 per acre for conventional land clearing. When choosing a method, consider:

  • Forestry Mulching: Leaves organic material in the soil, promoting new ground cover growth.

  • Conventional Clearing: You might lose valuable topsoil during this process.

A land-clearing project typically involves several key steps to prepare your property for construction or landscaping. First, assess your land and obtain any necessary permits from your local building department. Then, professionals use specialized equipment to remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. After clearing, they haul away debris and may perform grading to level the land, ensuring it's ready for your intended use.

Preparing land to build a house typically costs between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on your land's size and condition. This includes clearing space for the foundation, which may involve removing trees, stumps, brush, and leveling or grading the site. Don't forget to budget for additional costs like permits, fees, and installing utility connections such as gas lines, water lines, and sewer mains.
