Your Local Excavation Contractor Serving Coalton, Ohio
Coalton takes its name from Coal Township, and the name fits. The village boomed during the mining era, peaking at more than 1,600 residents around 1900, and today it is a quiet community of a few hundred people on State Route 93 between Jackson and Wellston. That mining past still shapes the ground under homes and yards here.
Old workings, shallow coal seams and soil that was moved generations ago can turn up on a Coalton property where you least expect them. Before we dig, we look for signs of disturbed ground, check how water crosses the lot and plan the work so pads stay firm and ponds hold water.
Little's Landscape & Excavation works out of Pomeroy and has served Southeast Ohio for more than three years. We are licensed and insured, call Ohio 811 (OUPS) before every excavation and offer free, detailed estimates. Small village or not, every Coalton job gets the same careful planning and a straight answer about cost.

Excavation Services in Coalton, Ohio
Many Coalton-area homes sit on a few wooded acres with a long gravel drive, and those drives need working culverts and ditches to survive a hard rain. We set culvert pipe at the right grade, bed it in stone and shape ditches so water stays off the lane.
We also clear brush and timber for new home sites, dig trenches for water and electric service, remove rock and build compacted pads for garages and barns. On ground with a mining history, we probe for soft fill and replace it with stone so Coalton pads do not settle later.
Concrete Contractor in Coalton, Ohio
A concrete pad is only as solid as what sits under it, and in Coalton that can mean old fill from the mining days. We dig out soft material, bring in compacted stone and then pour, so garage pads, driveways and sidewalks stay flat and crack-free longer.
Coalton homeowners hire us for driveway aprons where gravel meets the road, slabs in front of metal garages and pole barns, back patios, porch slabs and footers for decks and sheds. Each slab is formed with the right thickness, reinforcement and slope to shed water.
Foundation Repair & Sealing in Coalton, Ohio
Older homes in Coalton have weathered more than a century of settling ground and wet springs, and their foundations often show it. We repair and seal existing foundations only, starting by excavating along the damaged wall so the crack or bow can be reached and properly fixed.
Once the wall is open, we repair cracks and bowing, apply a waterproof seal and lay drain tile along the footer. Clean stone backfill and a regraded yard keep water moving away from the house, which is often the step that finally dries out a damp Coalton basement.
Pond Construction & Repair in Coalton, Ohio
Past the edge of the village, many Coalton properties have the hollows and acreage that suit a pond. We test for enough clay to seal the bottom, match the pond size to the land draining into it and build a compacted dam with an overflow that can handle heavy rain.
Because this is coal country, we pay close attention to what lies below the surface. If a spot near Coalton will not hold water, we will say so and help find a better one. We also repair leaking ponds, rebuild worn dams and dig out silt from older ponds.
Demolition Services in Coalton, Ohio
A village with roots in the coal days has its share of tired outbuildings, old sheds and houses past repair. We take them down with a mini excavator once utilities are shut off, working carefully around neighboring Coalton homes, trees and property lines.
Debris goes straight into dump trailers and off the property. We fill old cellars and crawl spaces, compact the ground and grade the lot level, leaving you a clean Coalton site that is ready for a new garage, a garden or simply a bigger yard.
Septic System Installation & Repair in Coalton, Ohio
Homes in the Coal Township countryside around Coalton depend on septic systems, and clay soil plus old disturbed ground make good installation critical. We install systems from the approved design, setting tanks and leach field chambers level and at the correct depth in fresh trenches.
When a Coalton-area septic system starts backing up or leaves wet, smelly spots in the yard, we replace failing tanks and repair or rebuild leach fields. Final grading directs surface water away from the field so the system can do its job without being flooded.
Landscape Design & Grading in Coalton, Ohio
Rolling Coal Township ground means plenty of Coalton yards slope toward the house or have a bank too steep to mow. We regrade lawns, cut shallow swales and add drainage so runoff from the hill goes around the home rather than into the basement.
For steeper slopes, we build curved block retaining walls on compacted stone with drainage behind them, creating level space for lawn or a patio. Erosion control on freshly graded Coalton banks keeps soil in place until grass fills in, and saved topsoil goes back on top.
