Diggin Life is an excavation company in Pownal, Vermont. It grew out of Jeff Pierce Trucking, which hauled for projects across the Northeast for more than 30 years. The work started even earlier, on excavation equipment. Now it comes back home to Pownal, on the dirt side.
The work is what this corner of Vermont actually needs: septic systems installed and repaired, lots cleared, ground graded and drained, gravel driveways built to survive mud season, and driveways plowed when the snow comes. Timber frame buildings and fiberglass pools run through longtime builder and installer partners, with Diggin Life handling every yard of the site work.
Pownal sits in the corner where Vermont, New York and Massachusetts meet, and the trucks treat all three sides as home ground. Call (802) 681-6842. The estimate is free either way.
Pownal, VT · Tri-State Corner The shop that answers your call prices the work and runs the equipment. You get specifics on the first call, from people who do this every day.
Every estimate comes from looking at the actual site. Ledge, slope, water and access set the real cost of dirt work, so we look first and the number holds.
Backfill compacted, grades pitched away from the house, topsoil back where it belongs, and the yard ready for seed. The job is done when you say it is done.
One company handles your job from the first call to the finished grade. The estimate, the schedule and the digging all come from the same shop, so you always know who to call.
Clearing, the septic system, the pad, the drainage and the driveway can run as one job with one schedule. For timber frames and pools, longtime partner builders join the same plan.
Every estimate comes from looking at the actual ground. Ledge, slope, water and access set the real cost of dirt work here, so we look first and the number holds.
Ledge near the surface, frost four feet down, mud season every April. Work here has to be planned for what the ground does in March, and ours is.
From the first look at the site to the last pass of finish grade, here is exactly how it goes.
We come out and read the ground: the slope, the water, the access, and whether ledge is likely. What you want done, what is worth doing, and what the job really takes. Nothing gets quoted blind over the phone.
You get a free estimate with a real number and a real window. It covers what is included, and it holds unless the ground changes the scope. If rock shows up mid dig, you hear about it that day.
The machine shows up when we said it would, and the person running it is the person you talked to. The work follows the plan: the permit design on a septic job, the grade plan on a pad, the pitch on a drain.
Backfill goes in compacted, grades pitch away from the house, and topsoil comes back where it belongs. We look at the finished work with you, and done means you say it is done.
A septic system that needs to go in, a lot to clear, a wet yard, or a driveway that will not survive another spring? Call or send the form. We look at the site with you and price the job from what is actually in the ground.
