Compact Excavation Services

Foundation Repair
Foundation issues need to be caught and addressed before they become major structural problems. We provide excavation services to expose and access foundation walls for waterproofing, crack repair, and drainage correction — working carefully around existing structures to protect your home throughout the process.

Underground Downspout & Drainage
If your downspouts are dumping water at your foundation, you have a problem waiting to happen. We install underground downspout drainage systems that carry water away from your home and discharge it safely — keeping your basement dry and your landscaping intact through Bergen County's heaviest rain seasons.

Seepage Pit Installation
Seepage pits are an effective solution for managing groundwater on Bergen County properties where surface drainage isn't enough. We excavate, install, and properly backfill seepage pits designed to handle the drainage volumes your property generates — reducing pooling and protecting your foundation over the long term.

French Drain Installation
Standing water, soggy lawn sections, and wet basements are classic signs a property needs a French drain. We excavate the trench, install perforated pipe in gravel, and backfill properly — redirecting subsurface water away from problem areas and out to a safe discharge point. Built for Bergen County's clay-heavy soils and heavy seasonal rainfall.

Grading
Proper grading is the foundation of a healthy property. Negative grade — where the ground slopes toward your home — is one of the leading causes of basement water infiltration. We regrade residential and commercial properties throughout Bergen County to correct drainage direction, eliminate low spots, and prepare the ground for lawns, paving, or construction.

Topsoil & Seed
Restoring bare, compacted, or excavated areas starts with the right soil. We supply and spread quality topsoil, properly grade and prepare the surface, then seed for healthy, lasting lawn establishment. Whether it's a small repair area or a full yard restoration after construction, we do the prep work that makes the difference.

Sod Installation
Need a lawn fast? Sod installation gives you an instant result without waiting through a full grow-in cycle. We prepare the soil, grade properly, lay sod with tight seams, and ensure proper watering setup so your new lawn takes root quickly and comes in strong on your Bergen County property.

Site Work
From lot clearing and rough grading to full site preparation ahead of construction or a landscaping project, our site work services get the ground ready for whatever comes next. We handle excavation, debris removal, grading, and prep work for Bergen County residential and commercial properties — on time and on budget.

Emergency Excavation — Water & Sewer Lines
A broken water or sewer line is an emergency. When it happens, you need a crew that responds fast, knows what they're doing, and leaves your property in good shape after the repair. Mike Donohue Landscaping provides emergency excavation services for failed water and sewer lines throughout Bergen County — residential and commercial.

We mobilize quickly, excavate carefully to expose the damaged line, and restore the area properly once the repair is complete. Don't wait on this one — call us directly.
