Prepare Your Property for Lasting Results

Two decades of excavation experience applied to every rural and commercial project.

Properties across West Central Illinois face distinct demands—whether it's preparing farmland for new infrastructure, clearing acreage for home construction, or maintaining ponds and drainage systems that keep rural operations running smoothly. Husband Family Excavating brings professional excavation services to Gladstone and the surrounding region, where agriculture, residential growth, and land improvement projects continue to shape the landscape. Every job starts with a clear understanding of what your property needs and how the work will unfold.



You'll know what to expect before equipment arrives, with a free estimate that reflects the scope and timeline of your project. From the first site visit through final grading, the process is designed to keep you informed and your property on track. Whether you're managing a farm, developing a homesite, or coordinating a commercial build, you can anticipate straightforward service that respects both your schedule and the land itself.


As a locally and family-owned operation, we approach each project with the care and accountability that comes from serving neighbors and building lasting relationships throughout the area. Licensed and insured, we handle everything from demolition and debris removal to trench digging and tile repair, using equipment suited to the demands of rural and growing communities. The goal is always to leave your property ready for what comes next—whether that's planting, building, or long-term use.

Support Your Land's Full Potential

Dependable excavation backed by two decades in the field

Built on Family Values and Local Knowledge

Licensed and insured service you can count on across West Central Illinois.

20 Years of experience

Professional-grade equipment removes vegetation and prepares sites for residential, agricultural, and commercial use.

Schedule a demolition quote and we will visit the site to assess the structure, access, and disposal requirements before starting.

Get started with forestry mulching by reaching out to discuss your property and what you want to clear.

Request debris removal service and we will schedule a time to assess the site and provide a clear estimate based on volume and access.

Every site is different, and the way we approach yours depends on soil conditions, access points, existing features, and the end use you have in mind. You'll receive a walkthrough of what each phase involves—site assessment, equipment staging, excavation or grading work, and final cleanup—so there are no surprises along the way. Clear expectations mean you can plan around the work, and documented steps ensure nothing is overlooked as the project moves forward.



From forestry mulching that clears dense growth to pond construction that requires precision grading and water flow management, each service follows a structured sequence. You'll know when equipment will be on-site, what progress looks like at each stage, and how weather or site conditions might affect timing. That level of coordination helps residential, agricultural, and commercial clients stay aligned with broader project timelines.
