Dug Right. Priced Right. Done Fast.

Hewitt's excavating crew that turns a $1,400 estimate into a $350 bill and finishes by Saturday.

About Us

When Pete showed up on a Thursday to quote two jobs in Hewitt, NJ, nobody expected both to be finished by Saturday morning. That's just how P & W Excavating operates. No drawn-out scheduling windows, no inflated scopes of work, and no surprises on the final invoice. A 4.7-star rating across 14 reviews isn't a marketing number, it's a track record built one honest job at a time along the Warwick Turnpike corridor and throughout Sussex County.

The story that says the most about this company is a simple one: a job quoted at $1,400 came in at $350. The crew found a cheaper solution, did it right, and told the customer. Most contractors pocket the difference. P & W hands it back. That kind of integrity is rare anywhere, and it's why local contractors keep passing their name along to neighbors who need real excavation work done without the runaround.

From septic system work to full-scale site excavation, P & W brings heavy equipment and light-handed billing to every project. If you're on the New Jersey side of the Highlands and the ground needs to be moved, these are the people who show up when they say they will.

What We Offer

P & W Excavating handles the full range of ground-disturbing work that homeowners and contractors in the Hewitt area need. That means site preparation, land clearing, grading, drainage solutions, and septic excavation handled with the kind of care that keeps your yard from looking like a war zone when the crew leaves.

Septic pumping and septic-related excavation are a particular strength. Customers have specifically called out the company's septic work as some of the best service they've encountered, noting the crew's professionalism and follow-through. Whether the job is a routine pump-out or a full excavation for a new system, the team brings the right equipment and the right attitude.

Need a fast turnaround? That's standard here. From first estimate to finished grade, P & W moves quickly without cutting corners. They serve residential and commercial clients throughout the New Jersey Highlands, and they come recommended by the local contractors who have seen their work up close.
