How much excavation and heavy-equipment experience does Prime Services have?
The Prime Services team brings 40 years of combined heavy-equipment operating experience to residential and commercial excavation, land clearing, demolition, grading, drainage, and sitework projects. That means 40 years of combined team experience, not 40 years in business. Prime Services is also fully insured.
Do you excavate foundations, basements, garages, and home additions?
Yes. Prime Services performs foundation, basement, garage, addition, footing, and related site excavation based on available plans, required elevations, and site conditions. We work with homeowners, custom-home builders, and general contractors to coordinate access, grades, excavation limits, and the written scope before work begins.
Do you provide land clearing and complete site preparation?
Yes. Prime Services clears and prepares sites for new homes, additions, garages, driveways, and other construction projects. Services can include brush and vegetation removal, grubbing, stump and root excavation, construction-access preparation, stripping unsuitable material, rough grading, and preparing the site for the next phase of construction.
What types of building and structural demolition does Prime Services handle?
Prime Services provides controlled demolition and removal of houses, garages, barns, sheds, outbuildings, foundations, concrete, asphalt, and other approved structures or site improvements. Depending on the written project scope, the work can include debris removal, backfill, compaction, and site grading as part of the demolition project.
Does Prime Services remove and backfill in-ground swimming pools?
Yes. Prime Services provides in-ground pool demolition and removal, including removal of the pool structure and related materials included in the written scope. The site can then be backfilled, compacted, and graded in accordance with the project requirements and local regulations.

Yes. Prime Services installs underground infiltration systems, storm pipe and drain lines, swales, culverts, inlet boxes, catch basins, and stormwater basins, and performs drainage repairs based on approved plans and site conditions.
Can grading improve drainage and prepare a property for construction?
Yes. Proper grading can establish required elevations, prepare stable building and driveway areas, direct surface runoff away from structures, and reduce standing water and erosion. The correct solution depends on the property’s elevations, soils, runoff, existing outlets, access, and proposed construction plans.
What areas does Prime Services serve, and who do you work with?
Prime Services serves Chester County, Delaware County, and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania, including West Chester, Kennett Square, Downingtown, Glen Mills, Glenmoore, and Exton. We work with homeowners, builders, general contractors, developers, and commercial property teams on individual excavation projects and complete sitework packages.
How much does an excavation, land-clearing, or demolition project cost, and how long does it take?
Pricing and scheduling depend on the project scope, property access, excavation or demolition volume, soil and rock conditions, existing utilities, required materials, disposal requirements, weather, plans, permits, and inspections. After reviewing the property, available plans or photos, and requested scope, Prime Services can provide a detailed estimate and estimated project schedule.
