Our Services
Excavation & Dirt Work Services
When a project needs dirt moved, Reclaim Land Services is the excavation contractor property owners around Dayton call: utility trenching, drainage excavation, cut and fill, building pads, culverts and general dirt work on residential, agricultural and commercial land. The crew works out of West Alexandria with tracked skid steers, a dozer and a dump truck sized for rural and small-site work.
Dependable means the same thing on every job: we show up when we said, we dig what was scoped, and we leave the site graded and clean. Rodney Creech's twenty-plus years in site preparation cover everything from a single trench for a water line to grading and drainage across an entire homesite.
Excavation and Dirt Work Services
Utility Trenching
Trenches for water, electric, gas and communication lines at the depth and width the utility requires, backfilled and compacted afterward.
Drainage Excavation
Digging for French drains, drain tile, dry wells and outlet lines, usually completed as part of our drainage work.
Cut, Fill and Rough Grading
Moving soil from where it is to where it needs to be, compacted in lifts and shaped for drainage.
Building Pads
Pad excavation and compaction for pole barns, garages and outbuildings, cut to the builder's elevations.
Culverts and Driveway Crossings
Ditch crossings and pipe set for rural drives and field access.
Spoil Removal
Excess soil, stone and debris loaded and removed with our own dump truck.
Residential, Farm and Commercial Dirt Work
Most of our excavation work happens on residential and rural ground: a homeowner adding a garage, a farm running a new water line to a barn, a property owner whose backyard turns into a pond every spring. Small commercial sites, churches and parks make up the rest. Tracked machines keep ground pressure low so we can work in wet Ohio conditions without tearing up more than the job needs.
Excavation often comes bundled with our other services. A cleared lot moves straight into pad excavation and site development; a drainage dig finishes with grading and topsoil. One crew, one quote.

Tracked skid steers with a forestry mulcher head, a dozer, soil processing equipment, tractors and a dump truck let us size the machine to your acreage instead of the other way around.
