Excavation and Site Preparation

Precision grading, drainage solutions, and site prep that keeps your property stable

Florida Panhandle properties face intense sun, heavy humidity, and tropical storms that push water where it doesn't belong. Smart excavation and grading protect your property by shaping land to drain properly, hold stable, and last. Our excavation team clears and grades, cuts swales, sets culverts, installs French drains, and builds stable pads—using methods that stand up to saturated soils, high water tables, and storm runoff.

We handle residential and commercial excavation projects across Freeport, Santa Rosa Beach, 30A, and surrounding areas. From land clearing to utility trenching, our team delivers a site that stays dry, stable, and ready for whatever you build next.

  • Land Clearing: Remove trees, brush, and stumps with tight machine control and erosion protection

  • Precision Grading & Building Pads: Laser-guided grading for firm, even foundations that meet spec

  • Drainage Solutions: Swales, culverts, and French drains that move water off your site fast

  • Driveways & Access Roads: Stable base construction with geotextile fabric and compacted limerock

  • Utility Trenching: Clean trenching for water, power, and septic with proper depth and backfill

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of projects do you handle?

We focus on outdoor and site improvement work. Our main services include landscaping, fence installation, and excavation. That covers projects like new yard builds, drainage solutions, driveways, hardscapes, property cleanups, privacy and pool fences, and site prep for future builds or additions.

Do you work with both homeowners and businesses?

Yes. We complete projects for homeowners, rental owners, HOAs, and commercial clients. That includes single homes, vacation rentals along 30A, neighborhoods, retail sites, and light commercial properties. We tailor each plan to the property type, guest traffic, and long-term maintenance needs.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Mako Contractors holds proper licensing and insurance for our work in Florida. This protects property owners, tenants, and our crew on each job. During the estimate, we can provide proof of coverage so you feel confident before any work starts on your site.

How does the estimate process work?

First, we schedule an on-site visit to walk the property, discuss goals, and review any problem areas such as drainage, access, or privacy concerns. Then we provide a written estimate that outlines scope, materials, and pricing. Estimates are free and come with no pressure to book.

How soon can you start my project?

Start timing depends on project size, material availability, and current schedule. Smaller projects may start within a short window once the estimate gets approved; larger landscape or excavation jobs may book further out. During the quote, we share a realistic timeline so you know what to expect.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance or one-time service only?

We provide both. Many clients start with a one-time project such as a cleanup, new fence, or grading job, then move into a maintenance plan for landscaping or property care. We can recommend a schedule that fits your property, whether you live on-site or manage a rental from a distance.

Our Clients Speak for Us

We believe in building relationships, not just homes. Here’s what some of our satisfied clients have to say about working with Mako Contractors.

☆☆☆☆☆

"Perfect for our 30A Property."

We manage a rental near 30A and needed reliable help with landscaping and general property cleanup between guests. Mako keeps the beds trimmed, pine straw fresh, and walkways clear. The place looks sharp in photos and our guests notice. Easy to work with and quick to respond.

Mark, T. - Seagrove Beach, FL

☆☆☆☆☆

"Fence looks great and the gate actually works"

We hired Mako Contractors for a new wood privacy fence and an aluminum pool fence at our home in Freeport. They walked the line with us, explained options, and finished the job faster than we expected. The fence looks great and the gates actually work the way they should.

James, R. - Freeport, FL

☆☆☆☆☆

"Solved our drainage problem the right way"

Our driveway and side yard in Defuniak Springs used to flood every time it rained. Mako came out, graded the area, added a small retaining wall, and fixed the drainage. They explained each step and cleaned up before they left. We finally have a solid solution instead of a temporary fix.

Carla, D. - Defuniak Springs, FL

"Yard looks better than it ever has"

Mako cleaned up our whole yard in Santa Rosa Beach, added fresh pine straw, and fixed some irrigation issues we’d been ignoring for years. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and left everything neat. Our yard looks better than it ever has.
