EXCAVATION SERVICES
DEMOLITION SERVICES
Excavation Services
We provide professional excavation services for residential and light commercial projects throughout Central Wisconsin. From initial ground breaking to final cleanup, our experienced team and compact equipment handle every phase of excavation with precision, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to minimizing disruption to your property and surrounding landscape.
Site Preparation
Proper site preparation is the foundation of every successful build. We clear, grade, and prepare your site to exact specifications — ensuring stable, level ground that's ready for construction, landscaping, or development. Our thorough approach to site prep prevents costly issues down the line and sets every project up for long-term success.
Land Clearing
From overgrown lots to wooded acreage, we clear land efficiently and responsibly. Our team removes trees, brush, stumps, and debris to open up your property for its next chapter — whether that's a new home, an outbuilding, an agricultural use, or a landscaping project requiring a clean, workable surface to start from.
Forestry Mulching
Forestry mulching is one of the most efficient and environmentally responsible ways to clear vegetation. We grind trees, brush, and undergrowth directly into a natural mulch layer that enriches the soil and eliminates the need for burning or hauling. It's a cleaner, faster solution for large-scale land clearing across Central Wisconsin properties.
Grading & Leveling
Uneven ground causes drainage problems, structural instability, and long-term headaches. Our grading and leveling services correct surface irregularities with accuracy and care — whether we're preparing a building pad, leveling a yard, addressing erosion, or reshaping terrain to direct water away from structures and low-lying areas on your property.
Trenching Services
We dig clean, precise trenches for a wide range of applications including drainage systems, irrigation lines, electrical conduit, and utility runs. Our compact trenching equipment works efficiently across all soil types and in areas where access is limited — delivering accurate, consistent results without unnecessary disruption to the surrounding ground or landscape.
Utility Excavation
Installing or repairing underground utilities requires accuracy and care that protects both the infrastructure and your property. Our utility excavation services support water line installations, sewer connections, electrical runs, and more. We work methodically, follow safe dig protocols, and restore the work area thoroughly once every utility excavation job is complete.
Driveway Excavation & Prep
A durable driveway starts with a properly excavated and prepared base. We handle full driveway excavation, subgrade preparation, and grading to ensure your driveway has the stable foundation it needs for long-term performance. Whether you're installing a new driveway or replacing an old one, we set the groundwork for a lasting result.
Culvert Installation
Properly installed culverts are essential for managing water flow under driveways, roads, and access paths. We handle full culvert installation from excavation through backfill and grading — ensuring correct sizing, slope, and placement to keep water moving efficiently and prevent erosion, flooding, or structural damage to your driveway or road crossing.
Drainage & Water Management Excavation
Poor drainage can damage foundations, flood yards, and erode landscapes over time. We design and excavate drainage solutions tailored to your property's specific water management needs — including swales, French drains, retention areas, and diversion channels — protecting your land and structures from the long-term consequences of unmanaged water flow.
Dirt Work
From backfilling and rough grading to soil redistribution and final shaping, our dirt work services keep every project moving in the right direction. We handle all phases of earthmoving with care and efficiency — ensuring the ground beneath your project is properly shaped, compacted, and ready for whatever comes next on your build site.
Demolition Services
We provide safe, efficient demolition services for residential and light commercial projects across Central Wisconsin. Our team assesses every structure carefully before work begins, ensures proper utility disconnection, and executes demolition with full attention to site safety and cleanup — leaving your property clear and ready for whatever comes next.
Residential Demolition
Whether you need a full structure torn down or a single outbuilding removed, we handle residential demolition with the care and precision your property deserves. We manage everything from pre-demo planning and debris removal to final site cleanup — making the process smooth, straightforward, and as minimally disruptive as possible for you and your neighbors.
Light Commercial Demolition
We take on light commercial demolition projects where precision, scheduling, and site control matter. Our team works efficiently to bring down commercial structures safely and on time — coordinating cleanup and debris removal so your site is cleared and ready for redevelopment, renovation, or new construction without unnecessary delays or complications.
Concrete Removal
Old slabs, footings, sidewalks, driveways, and foundations don't stand a chance. We break up and remove concrete of all sizes and configurations — using the right equipment to get the job done efficiently without damaging surrounding areas. Once the concrete is out, we leave the site clean and ready for whatever your next phase requires.
Interior Demolition
When a renovation calls for selective teardown, we provide clean, controlled interior demolition that removes exactly what needs to go — without disturbing the surrounding structure. From walls and flooring to fixtures and ceilings, our team works carefully and methodically, keeping your project on track and your building structurally sound throughout the process.
CONCLUSION
When you hire a contractor, you're putting your property — and your project — in someone else's hands. We don't take that lightly. At Scott Brandt Mini Excavation and Demo, every job we complete across Athens, Wisconsin, reflects our commitment to doing things the right way: honest communication from the first call, dependable workmanship throughout, and a finished result you can feel confident about.
