Expert Excavation & grading in Jonestown, PA

S&A Contracting LLC handles excavation and grading for residential and commercial properties in Jonestown, PA and the surrounding region. We cut, fill, and level land so your project starts on solid, properly drained ground. That includes site preparation before construction, topsoil stripping and hauling, land leveling for outbuildings and additions, and regrading slopes that push water toward your foundation or structure. Lebanon County soils are commonly channery loam over limestone and shale bedrock. That mix can hold moisture in low spots and shift under equipment if not read correctly. We account for those conditions when we plan every cut and fill. Sloped lots across the area also require careful attention to how water moves after grading. Redirecting runoff away from structures and toward proper drainage paths is part of the work, not an afterthought. We serve Jonestown, Lebanon, Harrisburg, Hershey, Lancaster, York, Reading, Allentown, Pottsville, Myerstown, Lititz, Manheim, Middletown, Pine Grove, Fredericksburg, and Bethel. Call S&A Contracting LLC to talk through your site.

Excavation & grading FAQ

Common questions about excavation & grading in Jonestown, PA.

Yes, we serve Jonestown and the wider Lebanon County area, along with Harrisburg, Hershey, Lancaster, York, Reading, Allentown, Pottsville, and other surrounding communities. Call us to discuss your specific site.

Yes, drainage correction through regrading is one of the most common jobs we handle for homeowners. We redirect the slope of the land so water moves away from your home rather than pooling against it.

Yes, we grade and level land for outbuildings, garages, and additions across Lebanon County and the surrounding region. A properly leveled and compacted base prevents settling and keeps your structure stable.

Yes, excavated material and stripped topsoil can be hauled off your property as part of the grading scope. We handle removal so you are not left managing a pile of displaced dirt.

In Pennsylvania, construction activities that disturb one acre or more of earth generally require an NPDES permit for stormwater discharges associated with construction activities. Projects disturbing between 5,000 square feet and just under one acre typically require an Erosion and Sediment Control plan. Lebanon County also has its own stormwater management ordinance that may apply depending on your municipality and project scope. Your local township or the Lebanon County Conservation District can confirm what applies to your specific site.

Lebanon County soils are commonly channery loam sitting over limestone and shale bedrock, and valley areas can include clay loam that holds moisture and increases runoff on sloped lots. These conditions mean grading plans need to account for how water moves across the site after earth is moved, particularly to avoid concentrating runoff toward structures or neighboring properties.
