Your Local Excavation Contractor Serving Albany, Ohio
Albany is one of the nearest Athens County villages to our Pomeroy shop, so it is familiar ground for our crew. The village sits near US 50 and State Route 32, with State Route 681 running through, and the land around it is hay fields, pasture, wood lots and newer homes on a few acres. Those properties usually need a bit of everything.
One week an Albany landowner might need a lane cut back to a new house site; the next, a neighbor wants a pond in the low pasture or a septic system replaced. Little's Landscape & Excavation has handled that kind of mixed rural work for over three years, and we keep the equipment and the know-how in-house.
The short haul from Pomeroy helps keep mobilization reasonable and makes return visits easy. Before we quote, we walk the property with you, check how the clay holds water and where the slopes shed it, and then write up a free, detailed estimate. We are licensed, insured and always call Ohio 811 first.

Excavation Services in Albany, Ohio
Around Albany, excavation is mostly about getting rural land ready to use. We clear fence rows and overgrown lots, cut level pads for manufactured homes and pole barns, trench water lines out to the barn, and pull rock when the bucket finds it. Each job starts with marked utilities and a plan for the spoil.
Long gravel driveways are common out here, and they fail where water crosses them. We install corrugated culverts sized to the drainage, bed them in stone and shape the ditches on both sides. The result is a drive that stays passable after spring rain instead of washing out every year.
Concrete Contractor in Albany, Ohio
Concrete on a farm or country lot near Albany has to carry real weight. We pour shop and garage pads, equipment slabs, driveway aprons where gravel meets pavement, and sidewalks and patios for the house. Footers for outbuildings are part of the work too, always set on a base we excavated ourselves.
Since one crew does the digging and the pouring, there is no finger-pointing about who got the grade wrong. The stone is compacted, the reinforcement is in place and the joints are cut where the slab needs them, so your Albany concrete holds through winter freezes.
Foundation Repair & Sealing in Albany, Ohio
Our foundation work in Albany is repair and sealing of existing foundations only. Clay soil around the village swells when wet and presses hard on basement walls, which leads to cracks, bowing and seepage over time. We dig along the outside of the affected wall to expose it from top to footer.
With the wall open, we repair the damage, apply a waterproof sealant, set new drain tile and backfill with clean stone instead of the same wet clay. Final grading slopes the yard away from the house, so the water that caused the trouble has somewhere else to go.
Pond Construction & Repair in Albany, Ohio
Albany residents already know what water adds to the landscape, with Lake Snowden just down the road. A pond of your own does the same on a smaller scale, giving cattle a steady drink, the kids a place to fish and you a reserve when a dry August arrives.
We figure out how much water drains to the site before choosing the spot and depth. The dam gets a clay core compacted in layers and an overflow sized for hard storms. Albany ponds that have silted in or started seeping can be drained, dug out and resealed.
Demolition Services in Albany, Ohio
Leaning corn cribs, collapsed sheds, old trailers and storm-damaged garages show up on plenty of rural lots near Albany. We bring a mini excavator and dump trailer, take the structure down in a controlled way and make sure any remaining power or water service is shut off first.
After the building is down, debris gets hauled away, any old foundation hole is filled and the spot is graded smooth. You end up with open ground ready for a new building, a garden plot or simply more pasture for the livestock.
Septic System Installation & Repair in Albany, Ohio
Homes outside Albany village rely on private septic systems, so this is a regular part of our local work. We install new systems, swap out cracked or rusted tanks and repair leach fields that have stopped absorbing. The clay ground here drains slowly, which makes proper field layout essential.
Chamber-style leach lines go into level, freshly dug trenches with the right spacing for your soil. When the work is finished, we backfill, restore the grade and seed the area, so your Albany yard does not look like a construction site for long.
Landscape Design & Grading in Albany, Ohio
Big yards on rolling ground mean mowing headaches and mud. We regrade Albany properties so rain runs off the lawn rather than pooling by the back door, fill dips that have bothered you for years and cut flat areas for gardens and patios. Topsoil is saved first and spread back last.
When a slope behind the house keeps creeping toward the foundation, a curved block retaining wall can hold it back and create usable yard space. We pair walls with drainage, swales and erosion control so the hillside stays put through wet seasons.
