PADUCAH & WESTERN KENTUCKY

Excavation & Site Prep in Paducah & Western Kentucky

Building pads, final grade, lot cleanup, drainage, and construction entrances — quoted in writing from a free site walk.

Whether you're a builder who needs a pad ready when the schedule says, or an owner getting land ready to build on, the dirt work sets up everything that follows. We handle site preparation — clearing the footprint, cut and fill, pad grading — plus final grade, lot cleanup, drainage and culverts, and gravel construction entrances across Paducah and Western Kentucky.

Excavation is quoted after a site walk, because dirt moved, access, and drainage drive the number — and guessing isn't how we do business. You get a written line-item scope before a machine is scheduled, and if anything changes on site, you hear about it the same day.

What We Handle

Building Pads & Site Prep

Footprint cleared, cut and fill to grade, pad built and left where the plan says. Scheduled to your build, not ours.

Final Grade & Lot Cleanup

Rough ground shaped to finish grade and cleaned up construction scars — ready for seed, sod, or the next trade.

Drainage & Culverts

Standing water, failed culverts, and washouts fixed at the cause — ditching, crowning, and culvert installation and repair that lasts.

Grassed Waterways & Erosion Control

Farm and field waterways shaped, washouts filled, and rip-rap set where water works hardest — dirt work that keeps soil where it belongs.

Construction Entrances

Gravel entrances that keep trucks moving and mud off the road, billed per delivered ton so you see material cost.

Built by a Builder

Morreau Land & Site is run by Ryan Morreau — the same owner behind Morreau Construction, the Paducah custom home builder. That matters for dirt work: we know what a builder needs from an excavation contractor, because we are one. The pad is where the print says. The schedule holds. If site conditions change the number, you hear about it the same day — not on the invoice.

One point of contact, a written line-item scope on every job, and commercial terms available for builders and general contractors. Every project ends with a walkthrough — it isn't done until it matches the written scope you approved.

Common Questions

How much does excavation and site prep cost in Paducah, KY?

Every excavation job is quoted from a free site walk, because dirt moved, access, and drainage drive the price — guessing isn't how we do business. You get a written line-item quote before any machine is scheduled, and our project minimum is $450. Rock and materials are billed at delivered cost on their own line.

Do you work with builders and general contractors?

Yes — building pads, final grade, lot cleanup, and gravel construction entrances, scheduled to your build. You deal directly with Ryan, the scope is in writing, and if something changes on site you hear about it the same day. Commercial terms are Net 30 when stated on the quote.

What does site preparation include?

Whatever the site actually needs: clearing the footprint, cutting and filling to grade, building the pad, setting the construction entrance, and getting water moving away from the work. The scope is defined at the site walk and written into the quote, so what's included is never a guess.

When is the job considered done?

When it matches the written scope you approved — not before. Every project ends with a walkthrough together, and anything that doesn't match the scope gets fixed before we call it finished. That's how every Morreau job runs, driveway or building pad.
