Built on Reliable Land Work in New Berlin, IL
We started Fraase Excavating, Inc. in 1996 as a family business built around showing up, doing the work right, and treating every property with respect. With Lloyd H. Fraase leading the way and John Fraase continuing that hands-on approach, we have spent decades helping owners turn difficult ground into usable space. Our history goes deeper than our founding date, we bring 50 years in the industry to every job, and we use that experience to keep projects moving without unnecessary delays.
A lot of people call us when their land feels stuck, maybe it is overgrown, poorly drained, hard to access, or simply not ready for the next step. We listen first, because one good conversation helps us understand how you want to use your property. Then we build a plan that matches your objectives, whether that means restoring a pond, clearing a future build site, shaping a driveway route, or improving land with conservation practices. We are known as “artists of the soil” because we can look at a rough property and see the vision, then shape the work so the finished result fits the people who own it.
We work with residential and commercial customers throughout New Berlin, IL, and we focus on dependable service you can count on. That means clear communication, a steady pace, and a finished site that looks right and functions the way it should. When you need excavation contractors for land clearing, site preparation, pond work, conservation, excavation, or demolition, we bring the equipment, the planning, and the follow-through that helps you avoid costly mistakes and get results that last.
