Services
Basement Excavation
Our basement excavation process begins with precise laser-guided staking and topsoil removal. We dig footers and basement areas while maintaining proper grading, followed by gravel backfill installation for water drainage. Our crews complete final grading to establish proper lawn elevation after construction, ensuring structural integrity and water management for residential foundations.
Septic Installation
We provide complete septic system solutions from initial soil analysis to final installation. Our team handles permitting, design, and installation of systems tailored to family needs and regulatory requirements. We also repair failing systems including collapsed tanks and blocked leach lines, using proper materials and techniques to ensure long-term functionality.
Driveway Construction
Our driveway construction includes layout planning for traffic patterns and drainage needs. We prepare bases with 4-8" of stone, apply 4-6" of berm stone, and ensure proper compaction using multiple compactors. We incorporate drainage solutions like ditches and catch basins to prevent erosion and maintain surface integrity over time.
Utility Work
We install and maintain underground utilities including water lines, sewer systems, and electrical conduits. Our licensed crews work with jurisdictional requirements to ensure proper installation of fire lines and sprinkler systems. We use appropriate equipment for trenching and compaction, coordinating with suppliers and inspectors to guarantee code compliance and system longevity.
Demolition Services
Our demolition services handle residential and commercial structures using modern equipment and safety protocols. We recycle materials whenever possible to minimize landfill waste. With experience in complex projects like concrete parking garages and mobile home parks, we ensure safe, efficient removal while preparing sites for future development.

J.Miller has worked on several construction projects for me over the years, always impressed with Jeff and his attention to detail, and the speed and quality of work they do. They work with modern and high tech equipment to ensure precise grading. Even for small things like needing one load of gravel, they provide fast and friendly service.

Report
My wife and I would like to Thank , J Miller & Son Excavating for their quick response to our home in Sugarcreek. Professional, caring and knowledgeable service quickly corrected our issue. They went over and above to protect our yard by limiting damage and repair. By their suggestion too, they took materials offsite and brought back when needed. I was looking to have a total mess of my front yard. It was a very hot day and the digging was extremely difficult but the guys in the trench worked hard only taking a break while waiting for the truck to return from hauling materials off site. While
