Serving Eaton and Preble County with Residential Excavation

Eaton has the feel of a true small county seat — a historic downtown square, properties that have been in families for generations, and a mix of in-town residential lots and rural acreage just outside city limits. That variety shows up in the kind of work I get called for: everything from drainage fixes on older in-town homes to brush clearing and footing prep on rural parcels along the township roads.

Rural Preble County properties often have tile drainage systems that have been in the ground for 50 or more years — aging clay tile or old corrugated pipe that fails quietly until you've got a wet basement or a soggy low spot that never dries out. I also get called for brush and vegetation clearing on fence lines, overgrown creek banks, and wooded edges where hand clearing isn't realistic. The flail mower attachment on the E20 handles heavy vegetation without churning up the ground the way a disc or rotary cutter would.

Eaton is about 25 miles from Brookville — roughly a 30-minute drive west. I take Preble County jobs when the project is a solid fit for what the E20 and I can handle. Reach out and describe what you've got — I'll be straight with you about whether it's the right match.
