Your Local Excavation Contractor Serving Jackson County, Ohio
Jackson County sits in the heart of the old Hanging Rock Iron Region, where charcoal furnaces once turned local ore, timber and coal into pig iron. That history left behind a landscape of steep wooded hills, narrow hollows, shallow sandstone and pockets of previously mined ground. Any project here, from a new driveway to a farm pond, has to start with an honest look at the dirt.
No two corners of the county dig the same way. Ridge-top lots tend to hit rock early, creek bottoms along Salt Creek and its branches stay soft and wet, and older mining areas can hide loose fill under a lawn. We plan the equipment, drainage and base material around what a specific Jackson County property actually needs.
Little's Landscape & Excavation is based in Pomeroy, in neighboring Meigs County, and has worked the hills of Southeast Ohio for more than three years. We are licensed and insured, call Ohio 811 (OUPS) before every dig and provide free, detailed estimates on every job, whether it is one culvert or a complete property makeover.

Excavation Services in Jackson County, Ohio
Rural Jackson County runs on long gravel lanes, and those lanes live or die by their culverts and ditches. We size and set culvert pipe for real storm flow, bed it in stone, cut roadside ditches and build driveways that climb a hillside without washing out every spring.
Our excavation work also covers land clearing, brush and stump removal, trenching for water and electric lines, rock removal and grading level pads for barns, garages and shops. When we hit sandstone a few feet down, which happens often in Jackson County, we have the equipment to break it out and keep the job moving.
Concrete Contractor in Jackson County, Ohio
Concrete that cracks in two winters usually failed from the ground up. Because we handle the excavation and stone base ourselves, every slab we pour in Jackson County sits on compacted, well-drained material that can handle hillside runoff and Ohio freeze-thaw cycles.
We pour driveways and driveway aprons, garage and pole barn pads, sidewalks, patios, porch slabs and footers for decks and outbuildings. Each pour is formed with proper slope, thickness and reinforcement for its use, so a farm equipment pad gets built differently than a backyard patio.
Foundation Repair & Sealing in Jackson County, Ohio
Our foundation work is about repairing and sealing existing foundations, not building new ones. On older Jackson County homes, clay soil holding water against block or brick walls is a common cause of cracks, bowing and damp basements, especially on lots cut into a hillside.
We excavate along the affected wall, repair cracks and bowing, apply a waterproof seal and install drain tile at the footer to carry water away. Then we backfill with clean stone and regrade the yard so runoff moves away from the house instead of soaking straight back down against the wall.
Pond Construction & Repair in Jackson County, Ohio
Plenty of Jackson County land has a wet hollow or natural low spot that could hold a pond. The trick is making it hold water through August. We check the soil for enough clay to seal, size the pond to its watershed and build a compacted dam with a proper spillway and overflow.
Whether you want a stock pond for cattle, a fishing pond or simply open water to look at from the porch, we shape safe bank slopes that resist slumping. We also repair existing ponds across Jackson County by fixing leaks, rebuilding eroded dams and clearing out years of built-up silt.
Demolition Services in Jackson County, Ohio
Sagging barns, burned-out houses, old mobile homes and collapsing outbuildings dot plenty of rural Jackson County properties. When a structure is past saving, we take it down in a controlled way after utilities are disconnected, keeping the work safe for your family, neighbors and livestock.
Debris is loaded and hauled off, old basements and holes are filled and compacted, and the site is graded smooth. Many owners have us move straight from demolition into site prep, so the ground is ready for a new garage, pad or yard without waiting on another contractor.
Septic System Installation & Repair in Jackson County, Ohio
Most homes outside the city limits of Jackson and Wellston rely on their own septic systems, and the county's clay and shallow rock make leach field placement important. We work from the approved system design and set every tank and line to the right depth and grade.
We install new septic systems for homes on raw land, replace cracked or failing tanks and repair or rebuild leach fields that have stopped draining. Fields are laid out in fresh trenches with chambers set level, then backfilled and graded so surface water stays off the system for years to come.
Landscape Design & Grading in Jackson County, Ohio
Hillside yards are the norm across Jackson County, and they bring washouts, soggy low corners and banks too steep to mow safely. We regrade lawns, shape swales and add drainage so rainwater follows a planned path instead of cutting ruts through your yard.
Where a slope needs holding, we build segmental block retaining walls on a compacted base with drainage stone behind them. We also handle erosion control on cut banks, rough and finish grading and prep for patios and garden beds, saving topsoil so it can go back on top.
