Sitework Wrentham, MA

Every good project starts with the site done right

Looking for sitework in Wrentham, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also right here in town.

Sitework is the part of a project nobody photographs and everybody depends on. The grade that keeps water out of the basement, the compacted base under the driveway, the trench for the drain line and the restoration after the pool company leaves are all sitework. All of it has to be right before anything built on top of it can be. Wrentham homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper for years. So we bring that same approach to every sitework job in town.

We run our own excavators, skid steers and compaction equipment. So we can handle a yard restoration after a septic replacement, a driveway base, a drainage trench or the excavation for a full landscape project. There is no waiting on someone else. We shoot grades with a laser, manage spoils responsibly and leave the site clean and ready for whatever comes next.

Why Wrentham, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Sitework

Wrentham is home base for Ten Four. Our yard sits on West Street, so a job anywhere in town is close-to-home work for us. That includes the historic common where Route 1A meets Route 140 as well as the Sheldonville neighborhoods on the west side. We know the properties here: large wooded lots with granite ledge just under the topsoil, and older village homes with mature trees and tired plantings. Then there are the newer subdivisions, where builder-grade grading and a thin layer of loam turn into drainage and lawn problems within a few seasons.

Much of Wrentham sits on glacial till over ledge, which means shallow bedrock in places, stones in every shovelful and soil that drains unevenly. Low ground around Lake Pearl and Lake Archer stays wet well into spring, while the higher, rockier lots dry out fast in July. That combination is exactly why base preparation, drainage and soil correction matter so much here. It is also why we look at the ground before we put a number on paper.

Problems we fix most often

Most people in Wrentham call us about sitework because something has already gone wrong. Others, meanwhile, want to make sure it never does. In short, these are the issues we see most often. Every one of them is also preventable when we do the work right the first time:

• Water running toward the house because nobody ever graded the lot properly
• A yard destroyed by a pool, septic or foundation project and left as dirt
• Stumps and brush taking over the back of the property
• A gravel driveway that washes out every spring
• A pad or shed base with no compaction under it
• Waiting weeks for an excavator to fit you in

What’s included

• Excavation and trenching
• Rough and finish grading to move water away from structures
• Compacted base for driveways, pads and hardscape
• Brush clearing and small stump removal

What drives the price

Honest answer: we price sitework in Wrentham, MA by the job rather than off a rate card. Why? Because no two properties are the same. Generally, anyone who quotes a firm price over the phone without seeing the site is guessing. That guess usually turns into a change order later. So here are a few of the things that move the price up or down:

When to schedule Sitework in Wrentham, MA

Sitework runs from the spring thaw until the ground freezes. Restoration after pool and septic projects is best done immediately so the yard does not erode all summer. Driveway and pad bases need dry conditions, so late spring through fall is ideal.

Signs it’s time to call

• Water pools against the foundation or floods the yard
• A construction project left the yard as a dirt lot
