Where we work in Clinton County
Know your ground
What makes Clinton County dirt different — and why it matters when you dig.
This county is named after a man famous for a ditch
Clinton County honors DeWitt Clinton, the New York governor who drove the Erie Canal — arguably the most famous excavation project in American history. A county named for a canal builder feels like home ground for an excavation company. We like to think he'd approve of our trenches.
150 years of tile under the fields
Clinton County's flat clay ground was wet prairie and swamp before generations of farmers buried drainage tile to make it farmable. That aging network still runs under everything — and cutting an unmapped live tile can flood an excavation fast. We locate, repair, and properly tie into legacy tile instead of ignoring it.
Heavy clay is the county's defining soil
Glacial till with high clay content means slow percolation — the number-one reason septic systems fail in Indiana. In Clinton County, honest soil evaluation up front decides whether you need a conventional field or a mound, and it's not a step anyone should skip.
Sugar Creek starts its run here
The upper reaches of Sugar Creek drain western Clinton County on the creek's way toward Montgomery County. Flat ground with a single outlet direction makes grading precision matter: an inch of fall in the wrong direction is the difference between a dry yard and a pond you didn't order.
Clinton County Permits & Resources
