Excavation & Digging

Precision trenching and excavation for foundations, utility lines, and drainage systems. We dig it right the first time — no rework, no surprises.

Grading & Leveling

Proper site grading directs water away from structures and prevents erosion. We ensure your lot is prepared to specification — flat, stable, and ready.

Foundation Preparation

A solid foundation starts with proper ground prep. We clear, compact, and grade the sub-base so your concrete work sits on a reliable surface.

Drainage Solutions

Standing water damages foundations and landscapes. We design and install French drains, swales, and grading that moves water where it needs to go.

Fill & Compaction

Low spots filled, soft soil compacted — we bring in the right material and pack it down so your driveway, patio, or addition won't settle unevenly.

Demolition & Site Clearing

Removing old structures, stumps, or debris before your new project begins. We clear the way so your build can start clean and on schedule.

Your Neighbors,
Not a Franchise

Lukens Excavating is a locally owned and operated business based right here in Cedar Grove. We're not a national chain with a call center — we're the crew that shows up on time, does the work right, and leaves your property in better shape than we found it.

Whether you need a basement dug for a new addition, a driveway graded for proper drainage, or a complete site cleared for a new build, we bring the same attention to detail to every job — big or small.
