Our Services
JR SR Excavation offers a comprehensive range of excavation services tailored to meet the unique needs of both residential and commercial clients.
-
From foundation digging to full site grading, JR SR Excavation provides reliable excavation services for residential and commercial projects across Lafayette, IN and Tippecanoe County. Our team handles everything from small residential digs to large-scale commercial prep work, using two generations of hands-on experience to keep every job efficient, safe, and on schedule.
-
Getting your land ready for construction takes more than just clearing space. We handle building pad prep, grading, and drainage considerations so your site is truly build-ready, not just cleared. Whether you're prepping for a new home, garage, or commercial structure in the Lafayette area, we make sure the groundwork is right before anyone breaks ground.
-
Overgrown, damaged, or hazardous trees can be a safety risk and an eyesore. We remove trees of all sizes for residential and commercial properties throughout Tippecanoe County, and we can pair tree removal with stump grinding for a complete cleanup in one visit.
-
Leftover stumps make mowing a hassle and can attract pests. We grind stumps down below grade so you can reseed, landscape, or build right over the area. Fast turnaround, minimal yard disruption.
-
Reclaiming overgrown property or prepping raw land for development? We clear trees, brush, and undergrowth for homeowners, farmers, and developers across Lafayette and the surrounding area, leaving you with a clean, usable site.
-
Instead of hauling debris off-site, forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees right where they stand, opening up dense wooded areas and promoting healthy grass growth. It's a faster, lower-impact way to clear land in Tippecanoe County's wooded properties.
-
We install new gravel and stone driveways and repair existing ones, fixing potholes, ruts, and drainage issues that shorten a driveway's lifespan. Serving residential properties throughout Lafayette, Rossville, and the surrounding communities.
-
Old barns, sheds, pools, and playsets take up space and hold back a property's potential. We handle safe, efficient demolition and debris removal so your property is clean and ready for whatever's next.
