AuGres calls itself the perch capital, and everything about the town points at Saginaw Bay: the marina, the river channel, and the low, water-adjacent lots that make drainage and grading a way of life here.
That low ground is our specialty. We regrade yards that flood every spring, run drainage that actually moves water off the property, protect bay and river frontage with stone and seawall work, and replace the septic systems that high water tables are hard on. Farther from the water, it is driveways, site prep, and fill delivered by our own tri-axle.
Arenac County is squarely in our service area, and AuGres jobs get the same 24-hour callback promise as the ones around the corner from our shop.
Low ground makes drainage a design problem, not an afterthought. Before we quote an AuGres yard or driveway, we watch where the water wants to go: which way the lot falls, where the ditch runs, and what the spring melt does to it. The fix that comes back in writing is sized to that, whether it is a regrade, a buried drain line, a culvert, or simply more of the right stone in the right place.
Septic work near the bay deserves the same honesty. High water tables are hard on drain fields, and the district health department's soil evaluation decides what your ground can support. We coordinate the perc test, pull the permit, install to the spec, and get the inspection passed before anything is covered.
The rest of the list rides along with every AuGres trip: gravel driveways and parking pads, sewer line replacement, land clearing, site prep for garages and pole barns, and gravel, fill, and topsoil delivered by our own tri-axle. Free written estimates on all of it, and the owner on the machine when the work starts.
Every AuGres estimate starts with looking, not guessing. Jordan walks the lot, checks the grades and the ditch, asks what the water did last spring, and leaves a written number that covers the machine, the material, and the trucking together, so you can actually compare it against other bids. And if a cheaper fix will honestly hold on your ground, that is the fix we quote, because around a small town the next job always comes from how the last one went.
About 40 minutes south of Hale, an easy run down M-65.
