Family-Owned

about us

Our family has been working hard to bring the very best services to the Birmingham area. After working for a large corporate office for many years, our owner decided to come directly to the people and start small and stay small to ensure that each and every job is done right and done with care.

Large Property Cleanup

This large piece of property was logged and left a total mess. We came in after and cleaned it up to make a hunting and fishing paradise. We cleared the underbrush and cleaned the edge of the lake.

Fencing

Grading

Do you want your lot to be level? While grading can create a desirable smooth yard, it is also extremely beneficial for water mitigation. Grading at the correct angle can direct water away from buildings and can help to prevent foundation issues caused by water draining issues.

Ponds

French Drains

Having water gather in the wrong places of your property can have devastating consequences for your home or business. French drains are the ultimate solution to moving that water from one area to an area away from any structures. We have helped homeowners avoid many issues by installing french drains.

Ponds

Ponds are a beautiful addition to any property, but if they are installed incorrectly they can create a swampy mess. Let us clean up your existing pond, or trust us to be the ones to install it correctly the first time.

Ponds

What clients are saying

Quality work and very timely. We had a severe drainage problem in our front yard causing water to pool under our house. Pipp & Sons came out and I was hands off! They handled the whole project while keeping me informed of what the plan was and took into account any specific requests I had. Several very heavy rains later and my crawlspace is still dry! Great to find reliable contractors still exist.

What clients are saying

Pipp & Sons Excavating is the real deal! Knowledgeable, professional, hardworking, trustworthy and very reasonably priced. We have used him for several projects and recently had him install a driveway entrance gate for us and it looks great! We are always pleased with the quality of his work. Johnny is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and he shows up & gets the job done.

What clients are saying

Worked with Jonny, great guy and knows what he is doing. Priced the competition out of the water and finished the job earlier than expected. Would recommend these guys for any land clearing or grading you need!
