One local crew for the whole county — excavation, clearing, grading, septic, and drainage from the river boroughs to the northern-tier camps.
Call (570) 555-0134Lycoming County is the largest county in Pennsylvania by land area — nearly 1,229 square miles — and no two corners of it dig the same. The valley floor along the West Branch holds heavier wet soils; the hillsides above it are shale-derived Weikert and Berks ground where bedrock can sit less than 20 inches down; and the creek corridors that feed the river carry their own flood history. Working from the Williamsport area, we cover all of it, and the estimate accounts for which ground you're actually on — not a county-wide average.
Directly across the West Branch from the city, these two boroughs sit on levee-protected river frontage — South Williamsport has hosted the Little League World Series every August since 1947. But the levee guards against the river, not the water running off Bald Eagle Mountain, which rises straight behind both towns. Backyards here climb fast, so the everyday work is slope work: regrading yards that pitch toward the house, drainage that intercepts hillside runoff, and tight-access digs on lots where the machine comes in through a 10-foot gap.
East of Williamsport, this is the Loyalsock Creek corridor — and the creek has made its point. The 2011 storm set the record crest on the Loyalsock and washed out the PA-973 bridge, so property owners near the creek take grading and drainage seriously. Loyalsock is the county's largest township, with established neighborhoods like Faxon and Kenmar generating steady yard-drainage, driveway, and demolition calls. Montoursville is also home to PennDOT District 3 — which matters the day your new driveway needs a Highway Occupancy Permit to meet a state road. We handle that paperwork.
North of the city, the Lycoming Creek corridor runs 37.5 miles up through Hepburn Township into the northern tier. This creek has the valley's hardest flood lesson: in 1996 it ran roughly two feet higher than Agnes had on that creek, and six people died. Grading and drainage along the corridor is not cosmetic work. Farther up, it's camp country — hunting camps and cabins that need septic replacements, holding tanks, access lanes regraded after washouts, and pads cut for additions. Yes, we drive up for camp jobs; they're a regular part of the schedule.
The west county pairs rural Woodward Township around Linden with Jersey Shore, the west end's river town. Out here the properties get bigger and the driveways get longer — long gravel lanes that wash out on shale slopes, wooded acreage cleared for building or pasture, and lots that mix floodplain flats near the river with rocky hillside above. It's the kind of ground where the site walk matters most, because the same acre can price two different ways depending on which end of it you're standing on.
Down-county to the southeast, the boroughs of Muncy, Hughesville, and Montgomery anchor a stretch of farmland, older homes, and new builds along the river. The work here runs the full menu — septic systems on lots that won't perc, building pads for new construction, barn and garage demolition, and pond work on the farm properties between towns. The drive down-county never changes the standard: same-day callbacks and an itemized estimate from an on-site walk.
