Your name is attached to the referral. We take that seriously.

When you send a client to Oyer Excavating, our job is to respond professionally, communicate clearly, respect the property, and give practical recommendations.
A practical local resource

Bring us in when the property problem needs more than a surface-level fix.

Oyer Excavating supports professionals whose clients and projects need excavation, drainage, grading, septic installation, driveway access, utility trenching, site preparation, hardscape base work, or commercial snow and ice management. We serve Northampton County, Monroe County, the Lehigh Valley, Slatebelt, and Poconos.

Signs it's worth a call.

We keep the conversation grounded in the work we perform, communicate the practical scope clearly, and avoid turning an observation into a claim that belongs with an inspector, engineer, municipality, insurer, or another trade.
Partner with Oyer Excavating

Select your role to see when and how we can help.

Every referral starts with a different concern. Open any partner category below for common situations, relevant services, and a clear next step.

A drainage, grading, septic, driveway, or retaining-wall concern can create uncertainty during a real estate transaction. Clear next steps help buyers and sellers understand the property issue without adding unnecessary confusion.

Oyer can look at the site-work concern, explain the practical scope in plain language, and provide a free estimate for work that falls within our services. Any inspection, permit, or municipal requirement remains with the appropriate qualified professional or local authority.

How Oyer serves realtors

  • Drainage and grading concerns near homes and foundations
  • Septic installation and related site-work planning
  • Driveway washout, poor access, and gravel driveway work
  • Retaining walls, erosion concerns, and exterior excavation
Have a property with drainage, septic, grading, access, or retaining-wall concerns before closing? Bring Oyer in before it becomes a deal problem.

Inspectors often identify visible symptoms—standing water, negative grading, soggy soil, washout, or septic concerns—that need follow-up from a contractor who performs the related site work.

Oyer provides a practical next stop when an inspection points to excavation, drainage, grading, septic installation, or property-access work. We do not replace the inspector or represent contractor observations as a formal inspection.

How Oyer serves home inspectors

  • Standing water and water moving toward a structure
  • Foundation drainage and waterproofing-related excavation
  • Poor grading, wet lawns, erosion, and washout
  • Septic installation questions that require site-work follow-up

Good construction starts with a workable site. Excavation, access, utilities, drainage, and grading need to be coordinated before later trades are forced to work around avoidable ground conditions.

Oyer can support residential and commercial construction with defined excavation and site-work scopes, coordinating the earthwork with the needs of the project and the other contractors involved.

How Oyer serves builders and general contractors

  • Site preparation and foundation excavation
  • Utility trenching and coordinated underground work
  • Land clearing, hauling, and demolition support
  • Rough and finish grading, drainage, and driveway access
  • Septic system installation for new construction
Need excavation, grading, drainage, or access handled before the next construction phase? Bring Oyer in early so the site work supports what comes next.

A patio, walkway, wall, planting plan, or outdoor living space performs best when the ground beneath it is prepared correctly and water is moving in the right direction.

Oyer can complement a landscape or hardscape scope by handling excavation, base preparation, drainage correction, grading, and heavier site access needs before finish work begins.

How Oyer serves landscapers and hardscapers

  • Excavation and base preparation for patios and walkways
  • Drainage correction before finish landscaping
  • Retaining walls, slope work, and erosion-related excavation
  • Grading, material movement, and equipment access
If water, grade, access, or base preparation could affect the finished project, involve Oyer before installation starts.

Recurring drainage, access, and winter-weather problems can quickly become tenant complaints and operational headaches across residential, multi-unit, and commercial properties.

Oyer helps property managers address the physical site conditions behind recurring problems and offers seasonal or on-call commercial snow and ice management for appropriate properties.

How Oyer serves property managers

  • Water pooling near buildings and repeated drainage trouble
  • Gravel lots, driveways, and access routes that wash out
  • Grading, trenching, and site-access improvements
  • Commercial lot plowing, salting, and ice management
  • Repeated ice buildup connected to drainage conditions
One drainage issue, icy area, or blocked access point can disrupt an entire property. Call Oyer to discuss a practical next step.

Some underground plumbing and utility projects require excavation, trench access, backfill, or restoration beyond the plumbing scope itself.

Oyer can work alongside the plumber on the excavation and earthwork portion of an agreed project, helping keep responsibilities clear while both trades focus on their part of the job.

How Oyer serves plumbers

  • Utility trenching and access excavation
  • Excavation around underground service-line work
  • Backfill, grading, and surface preparation after buried work
  • Coordinated site work around new construction plumbing
Have a job that needs digging before the plumbing work can move forward? Call Mark to talk through the excavation scope.

Interior water symptoms may be connected to exterior grade, runoff, or foundation drainage. When the exterior conditions need correction, excavation and drainage work may be part of the larger solution.

Oyer can handle the exterior excavation, foundation-drainage, waterproofing-related excavation, and grading portions of a coordinated project without presenting that work as a structural diagnosis.

How Oyer serves basement waterproofing contractors

  • Foundation drainage and waterproofing-related excavation
  • French drains and exterior drainage correction
  • Grading that moves surface water away from structures
  • Trenching, backfill, and site restoration preparation
When the water problem extends beyond the basement wall, bring Oyer in to discuss the exterior excavation and drainage scope.

Clients sometimes need a contractor after water, erosion, access, retaining-wall, or storm-related property concerns. They may also want to address a recurring site condition before it causes further disruption.

Oyer can provide a free estimate for work within our excavation and site-work services. We stay focused on the property work itself and do not make coverage decisions or promise a particular claim outcome.

How Oyer serves insurance agents

  • Drainage and grading correction after water-related concerns
  • Driveway and access restoration after washout
  • Excavation, clearing, hauling, and site preparation
  • Retaining-wall and erosion-related site work

Commercial sites depend on reliable access, workable drainage, stable driving surfaces, and a winter plan that fits how the property operates.

Oyer works with commercial owners on defined site-work projects and commercial snow and ice management, with practical communication about the property, access points, and work area.

How Oyer serves commercial property owners

  • Commercial snow plowing, salting, and ice management
  • Parking-area, driveway, and access-route improvements
  • Drainage, grading, trenching, and repeated-ice correction
