Land Clearing & Brush Cutting

Whether you need to open up extra space in your backyard or clear multiple acres for a new build, Universal Development offers complete land clearing and brush cutting services. We clear land, remove debris, and prepare the ground for whatever its future purpose may be.

For areas that do not need to be fully cleared but do need to be maintained or opened up, we offer brush cutting services. We utilize a brush cutter attachment on our excavator to reclaim overgrown areas that are difficult to access with conventional mowing equipment, including ditches, ponds, embankments, and steep slopes.

Driveway, Private Road and Parking Lots

Built to stand the test of time, Universal Development constructs gravel driveways, private roads, and parking areas using the correct materials and proper compaction methods. A quality gravel surface starts with proper preparation, and we take the necessary steps to build a finished product that will hold up over the long haul.

We also offer gravel driveway and parking area reconditioning. If your existing driveway or parking area has become rutted, washed out, or overgrown with weeds, we can recondition the area and get it back into shape.

Drainage Correction

The goal is always to have proper surface grading that allows water to drain away from homes and structures. However, sometimes proper surface grading alone is not achievable. In those situations, Universal Development utilizes subsurface drainage systems to redirect stormwater through catch basins and drainage pipes.

We design and install gutter downspout drainage systems to carry stormwater away from your home, as well as French drains in areas where they are needed to achieve proper drainage. We evaluate the drainage issue and determine the best solution for redirecting water and protecting your property.

We demo and remove old and unwanted houses, buildings, barns, concrete and asphalt.

Erosion Control, Hydro Seeding

Universal Development provides erosion control solutions designed to manage stormwater and protect your property from continued erosion. This can include installing ditches and drainage systems to redirect stormwater and installing non-woven geotextile fabrics and rip rap on slopes that are too steep to maintain.

We also install erosion blankets and hydro seed on slopes that are too steep for conventional seeding but are still accessible for mowing and maintenance. Whatever your erosion issue may be, we will evaluate the property and find the best control application to help resolve it.
