Your Local Excavation Contractor Serving Jackson, Ohio
Jackson is the county seat and largest city in Jackson County, and it sits at a busy crossroads where US 35 and State Routes 32 and 124 meet and State Route 93 runs right through town. That mix brings every kind of project, from a garage slab on a tight city lot to a full site build on acreage a few minutes out.
The city grew up on iron. In the late 1800s, furnaces in and around Jackson turned local coal and ore into pig iron, and the same sandstone, shale and clay still sit under today's yards. For us that means planning for rock on the hillsides and paying close attention to drainage on older, built-up lots in town.
Little's Landscape & Excavation has worked across Southeast Ohio for more than three years from our home base in Pomeroy. We are licensed and insured, contact Ohio 811 (OUPS) before every dig and give free, detailed estimates, so Jackson homeowners know exactly what the work involves before any equipment shows up.

Excavation Services in Jackson, Ohio
In town, excavation is often precise work in tight spaces: utility trenches between houses, new water or sewer line runs, widening a driveway off an alley or digging out a sunken walkway. Our compact equipment fits through gates and side yards without tearing up the whole lot in Jackson.
Out past the city limits we bring the bigger machines for land clearing, gravel driveways, culvert installs and level building pads. When we run into the sandstone that sits under so many Jackson hillsides, we break it out and haul it away instead of letting it stall the project.
Concrete Contractor in Jackson, Ohio
Jackson homeowners call us for driveways, aprons, sidewalks, patios, garage pads and footers. Because we dig and compact the base ourselves, every slab sits on stone that supports it, which matters on clay soil that swells and shrinks with Ohio's wet springs and hard freezes.
Plenty of older homes around Jackson have cracked, heaved driveways or walks that tip toward the house. We can break out the old concrete, correct the grade underneath and pour new flatwork that sheds water away from your foundation and garage door instead of toward them.
Foundation Repair & Sealing in Jackson, Ohio
Many houses in Jackson were built generations ago, and their basements show it with bowed block, stair-step cracks and damp corners. We repair and seal existing foundations; we do not build new ones. The fix starts with excavating along the problem wall so it can be reached properly.
With the wall exposed, we repair cracks and bowing, apply a waterproof seal and lay drain tile at the footer so water has somewhere to go. We backfill with stone and regrade the yard away from the house, which is often the real cure on tight Jackson city lots that slope toward the home.
Pond Construction & Repair in Jackson, Ohio
Hammertown Lake shows how well water can sit in the hills around Jackson, and plenty of landowners just outside the city want a pond of their own. We check for clay that will seal, size the pond to its drainage area and build a compacted dam with a spillway that handles spring storms.
We build fishing ponds, livestock ponds and smaller ornamental ponds on country properties around Jackson. If you already own a pond that leaks, has a slumping bank or has filled in with silt, we can find the problem, rebuild the dam or banks and dig it back to a healthy depth.
Demolition Services in Jackson, Ohio
Demolition inside Jackson city limits takes extra care. Neighbors are close, power lines run overhead and gas and water lines run underground. We confirm utility disconnects before we start, then take down old houses, garages and sheds piece by piece with a mini excavator so nothing lands where it should not.
Debris is loaded into dump trailers and hauled away, basements and crawl spaces are filled and compacted, and the lot is graded and ready for seed or a new build. It is a clean way to turn a run-down property in Jackson into usable ground again.
Septic System Installation & Repair in Jackson, Ohio
City sewer covers much of Jackson, but homes on the outskirts and out in the surrounding townships depend on septic systems. We install new systems on rural lots near Jackson from the approved design, setting tanks and leach field chambers at the proper depth and slope.
When an older system starts backing up or leaving soggy spots in the yard, we replace failing tanks and repair or rebuild leach fields in fresh trenches. Afterward we grade the area so rainwater runs off the field instead of soaking it, which helps the new system last.
Landscape Design & Grading in Jackson, Ohio
Tight Jackson lots leave little room for error, and a yard that drains toward the house quickly becomes a wet basement. We regrade lawns to pull water away from foundations, add swales and drainage and fill the low spots that stay soggy for days after a rain.
Where a backyard steps up a hill, a curved block retaining wall can turn an unusable bank into level lawn or patio space. We build walls on compacted stone with drainage behind them, then finish grade around them and use erosion control on any bare slopes in Jackson until grass takes hold.
