Excavation Services
Highmark Services provides professional excavation and site preparation services for residential and small commercial projects across South Central Alaska. Proper site preparation is the foundation of any successful project, and our excavation services focus on precision grading, drainage control, and stable base preparation to ensure long-term performance.
Whether preparing a site for asphalt paving, improving drainage, or clearing land for new development, we approach every project with careful planning and attention to detail.
Our Excavation Services May Include:
Land Clearing
Removal of brush, trees, stumps, and organic material to prepare land for construction, driveways, parking areas, or general property improvement. Clearing vegetation and unstable soils helps create a solid base for future development.
Parking Pad & Driveway Preparation
Preparation of stable gravel pads for parking areas, driveways, equipment storage, and building sites. This process typically includes stripping organic material, grading and or improving the subgrade, installing geotextile fabric when needed, and placing compacted base material to create a durable foundation.
Yard Leveling & Site Grading
Reshaping and leveling uneven terrain to improve drainage, usability, and overall property appearance. Proper grading helps prevent standing water, erosion, and foundation issues
Drainage Ditching
Installation and reshaping of drainage ditches to direct water away from structures, roads, and work areas. Effective drainage is critical in Alaska’s climate to prevent water damage and ground instability
Culvert Installation
Installation of culverts to allow proper water flow beneath driveways, access roads, and drainage crossings. We ensure proper sizing, placement, and backfill to maintain long-term functionality and prevent washouts.
