Trades · Excavation

Written for the builder, not the homeowner.

Most of the people looking you up are not homeowners. A builder needs a machine and an operator on site on the twelfth, and is checking what you run, what you can move, and whether anyone will answer before they try the next number. A page written for a builder settles it.

The week, with a system under it

The same week, held level.

Every line here is a lead from your own website. The site catches it and tells you. The optional AI Office Manager is what answers it, keeps it, and puts it on the record.

How the choice gets made

How a site work contractor gets picked.

The person looking up an excavation contractor is usually a builder with a date. The footing dig has to happen before the inspector comes and the concrete is scheduled, and the builder is working down a list of numbers looking for one that answers. What they check is what you run, how much you can move and haul, and whether you have worked a site like theirs, and a list of machines with sizes says more than adjectives.

The homeowner side is smaller but real, and it arrives worried. A failed septic, a basement that floods every spring, a lot they just bought that has to be cleared before anything else can happen. They do not know the words. They search the problem, and the page has to meet them there, at drainage or septic or clearing, and say in plain terms what the machine day looks like and what gets hauled off.

Both readers want the same two things before they call. That you are insured and licensed for the work, said in your own words on the page, and that the schedule is real. A builder wants to know that when you say the twelfth you mean the twelfth. A homeowner wants to know the trench gets closed before the weekend and the lawn put back after. Both are things the page has to state plainly.

What the calendar does to it

The ground decides the year. Spring thaw means mud and frost laws on the roads, so the season opens when the trucks can move and runs hard through fall, when every septic and foundation wants finishing before the freeze.

Your pages

A page for every job you get asked for.

These are the services a site work contractor gets asked for. On the multi-page sizes each one gets its own page. On the one page size they are the sections that page is built from.

  • Site preparation and grading. The builder's search, naming the machines, the cut and fill, and how a pad gets left for the footing crew.
  • Foundation and footing digs. Scheduled against an inspector and a concrete truck, so the page talks dates, depth and corners.
  • Septic system installation. The homeowner's biggest excavation search, with a perc test, a permit and a tank size behind every call.
  • Trenching and utility lines. Water, power and gas from the road to the house, searched by builders and homeowners alike.
  • Demolition and removal. A house, a barn or a slab coming down is a permit and a haul off question, and the page says where debris goes.
  • Land clearing. Stumps and brush on a new lot, searched by somebody who just bought acreage and does not know what grubbing is.
  • Driveway and gravel work. A long rural driveway that washes out every spring, and a page that talks base, crown and culverts.
  • Drainage and erosion control. A wet yard, a washed out slope, a silt fence the town wants: three searches, one machine.
  • Pool and basement digs. Pool companies and builders search for the dig alone, and want access, spoils and how tight you can work.
And you write none of it

We write every word of these pages. No content questionnaire, no homework, nothing left for you to finish on the week you are booked solid. Lead capture and owner alerts are built into the site itself, on every size, with nothing to switch on.

Three sizes

Pick the size that fits the business.

The parts are the same in all three. The size decides how much of your business the site covers.

30 months, then it is yours

or $1,497 in one payment

Everything on one page, built to carry the whole business.

Size 02Multi-page
$149/mo

30 months, then it is yours

or $2,997 in one payment

A page for every service you sell, the way homeowners search.

Size 03Full footprint
$249/mo

30 months, then it is yours

or $4,995 in one payment

The whole footprint of the business, plus priority support.

Both payment paths side by side, with the arithmetic printed where you can check it: see the pricing page →

Book a short call Not sure which size fits? That is what the call is for. We will tell you which one we would build for a site work contractor.
Before you pay · The preview

You are buying the site, not a promise.

We build it first. What you approve is what goes live.

You see the finished site before a dollar moves. We hand build it after one short call, and nothing starts until you have looked at it.

Approving it is what starts payment. Not a deposit, and not a signature on a mockup.

Tell us what is wrong and we take another pass. Or walk away and owe nothing at all.

It publishes on your own domain. Yours from day one, whichever way you pay for the site.

Straight answers

Questions about excavation.

Builders are my customers. Should the site talk to homeowners at all?

It should, because the homeowner who calls an excavator is calling with a big job and nobody else to call. A septic replacement, a basement that floods, a lot to clear before a house goes up: those get typed by homeowners and land on whatever page explains the work. The front page is written for the builder, in the builder's words, and the septic, clearing and drainage pages for the homeowner, so each reader finds their own room without wading through the other's.

Should the equipment list go on the site?

Yes, with sizes, because it is the first thing a builder reads and the thing that tells them whether to keep reading. A mini excavator and a skid steer are one kind of contractor; a thirty ton machine, a dozer and a fleet of tri axle dumps are another, and a builder with a commercial pad to cut does not want to find out which on the phone. Name what you run, what it weighs and what it can haul in a day, and let the builder do the arithmetic before they call.

Nobody searches for site work. What pages do I even need?

Nobody searches for site work, but they search for the jobs it is made of. Septic installation, land clearing, driveway grading, foundation dig, French drain: each typed by somebody who needs an excavator and does not use the word. The pages get organized by the job, in the words the person with the problem uses, not by what the trade calls itself. The builder finds the grading page, the homeowner finds the septic page, and neither needed to know what site work means.

Do you build for excavation?

Yes. We build for any local business that runs on jobs, and your site gets built around the work you actually do: the services you sell, the jobs you want more of, and the town you do them in. Your preview is hand built for your business, not a template with your name dropped into it. If something we wrote is wrong about how the work runs, you tell us and we fix it.

What does a website for a site work contractor cost?

Three sizes. One page is $1,497, multi-page is $2,997, the full footprint is $4,995, paid once. Or take the monthly path at $75, $149 or $249 a month for 30 months, and at the end of the 30 the site is yours. All three side by side, both payment paths, and the arithmetic printed where you can check it: see the pricing page.

How does the monthly path work?

You pick your size and make 30 monthly payments. All 30 payments, and the website is yours: hosting included, nothing further required. Every one of those months also includes the work that keeps the site running, which is hosting, security, released standard website updates, and support. The monthly, the term and the arithmetic behind it are printed on the pricing page.

What if I stop paying before the 30 months are up?

It is one commitment, and it runs both ways. You commit to the 30 payments; we commit to building it, hosting it, securing it and keeping it updated the whole way, and handing it over at the end. If you stop before then, the site comes down when the paid month ends and the payments already made are not refunded. A missed payment gets a 30 day grace period with everything still running. On the one payment path none of this applies: the site is yours the day it goes live.

Do I actually own it?

Yes, on either path: the day you pay in full, or the moment the thirtieth monthly payment settles. You own your domain, the content you give us, and your business data from day one regardless of path. One thing we would rather state than bury: it runs on our managed platform and is not portable to another host. You own the site and everything you brought to it, and it lives where we run it, hosting included.

Do I have to take a subscription?

No. The website is a purchase, not a subscription. Lead capture and owner alerts are part of the site itself and keep working whether or not you ever add anything to it. The optional AI Office Manager, which answers the leads your website produces and keeps them on the record, is a separate monthly service, and the website never depends on it.

Will it put me at the top of Google?

We are not going to promise you a ranking, a lead count, or a number of jobs, because none of those are ours to promise and anybody who does promise them is guessing. What we build is the thing all of that depends on: a site structured around the services you sell and the town you sell them in, published on your own domain, written to get a homeowner to ask.

Dead level

One call and you will know.

About thirty minutes about your town, your jobs, and what a site work contractor actually needs the site to do. You will know exactly what we would build and what it costs, and there is nothing to decide on the call.
