Specialized excavation services

Built around water control, soil, stone, and long-term stability

Custom Pond Construction & Cleanouts

New pond digs, cleanouts, and deepening work planned around usable depth, safer slopes, shoreline shape, drainage, and overflow control. FastTrack evaluates the site so water has somewhere sensible to go and the finished pond fits the property.

  • Depth and bank shaping for function and appearance
  • Sealing considerations for soil and water retention
  • Drainage planning to reduce washout and messy edges

Engineered Retaining Walls

Boulder and interlocking block retaining walls need more than a good-looking face. The base, drainage, backfill, slope, water pressure management, and erosion control all affect how long the wall lasts.

  • Erosion control for slopes, driveways, yards, and pond edges
  • Boulder and block wall excavation, base prep, and placement
  • Drainage-first planning for structural longevity

Gravel & Stone Driveways

New driveway installation and driveway refresh work for muddy, rutted, or washed-out surfaces. FastTrack can dig, grade, add stabilization fabric, build a crushed base, and finish with clean limestone, crushed concrete, or decorative stone.

  • Full dig, fabric, base, and top coat installs
  • Grading, rut repair, weed cleanup, and stone refresh
  • Limestone, crushed concrete, pea stone, and river rock

Residential Drainage Solutions

Yard water management, trenching, curtain drains, driveway drainage, and downspout tile lines designed to move water away from homes, garages, driveways, and problem low spots.

  • 4-6 inch premium corrugated drain tile installation
  • Trenching for downspout tile lines and curtain drains
  • Yard drainage fixes for standing water and washouts

Common property problems

Fix the issue underneath, not just the surface

Most failed driveways, wet yards, pond edges, and leaning walls have the same root causes: bad grade, poor drainage, weak base, or water going where it should not.

Standing Water

Curtain drains, trenching, drain tile, and downspout tile lines help move water away from low spots and structures.

Muddy Driveways

A proper dig-out, stabilization fabric, crushed base, and top coat lasts longer than simply spreading more stone.

Pond Washout

Shoreline shaping, cleanouts, depth work, and drainage planning help ponds stay cleaner and more usable.

Failing Slopes

Boulder walls, block walls, base prep, backfill, and drainage reduce erosion and help stabilize usable space.

Questions property owners ask

Quick answers before you call

These are the questions that usually decide whether a project needs a refresh, a deeper repair, or a drainage-first approach.

Do I need drain tile or just grading?

If water keeps returning after grading, the site may need tile, a curtain drain, or a better outlet path. Grading changes surface flow; drain tile moves water through the ground.

Can you refresh an existing gravel driveway?

Yes. If the base is still sound, a refresh can grade out ruts and potholes, clean up edges, and add a fresh stone top coat. If the driveway is soft or pumping mud, a dig-out may be the better fix.

What makes retaining walls last longer?

Base prep, drainage behind the wall, proper backfill, and managing water pressure matter as much as the visible stone or block.

How accurate is the calculator?

It is a conservative ballpark range for planning. Final price depends on access, material choice, soil, disposal, drainage outlet, slope, and project scope confirmed on site.
