Excavating Contractor in East Tawas, Michigan
East Tawas lives on its shoreline. Between Tawas Bay, the state dock, and the cottages that run up US-23 toward the point, most properties here are either on the water or a short walk from it, and that water is exactly why we get called.
Shoreline protection and seawall work top the list: Lake Huron frontage takes wave and ice energy that inland lakes never see, and a wall built for it is a different animal than a patched-up timber relic. Behind the shore, we handle the usual up-north work: septic replacements for older cottages, drainage for low lots, driveway regrades, and site prep for garages and additions.
You get the owner on the phone and on the machine, a 24-hour callback, and a written free estimate before anything starts.
Lake Huron shoreline work is its own discipline. Open-water frontage needs heavier material, deeper penetration, and honest advice about what a wall can and cannot do against a Great Lake, and that conversation happens on your bank, not in a brochure. Where a full wall is the wrong answer, we say so and price the stone or the regrade that actually fits the site.
Permits follow the water here: EGLE reviews work at and below the waterline, the county adds soil erosion rules, and septic and sewer jobs bring in the health department or the local inspector. We run that paperwork as part of every East Tawas job so the machine never sits waiting on a form we forgot.
Off the shore, East Tawas work looks like the rest of our service area: gravel driveways with a real base and crown, drainage that moves spring water off low lots, land cleared for garages and additions, and material delivered on our own truck. Small jobs are welcome, and the estimate is free and in writing either way.
Water is also why drainage work fills our East Tawas calendar. Lots near the bay sit low, the spring melt is generous, and a yard that still squishes in June wants regrading and buried drain lines, not another load of topsoil pushed into the mud. We watch where the water actually comes from before we quote anything, so you pay to solve the problem once instead of paying to decorate it every couple of years.
Roughly half an hour from Hale via M-55 and US-23.
