Start Strong with Precision Excavation and Site Prep

At Wallace Brothers Contracting Group, excavation isn’t just about moving dirt—it’s about setting the right foundation for everything that follows. From residential foundations to large-scale site development and utility trenching, our experienced team provides safe, efficient, and code-compliant excavation services throughout Bergen County and surrounding areas.


We own and operate our own fleet of heavy machinery, and our crews are trained to tackle even the most complex terrain challenges with confidence and care.
