Clearing and reclaiming land in Alexandria
Alexandria is farm and open country, and plenty of land here has sat overgrown and unused for years. Land clearing here means taking those lots back and turning them into something useful again, whether that is reclaiming a field for hay, opening ground for livestock to graze, or clearing a pad for a new building.
We clear, grub, grade, and haul so owners can put land that sat idle back to work. That is a big part of what we do here, but it is far from the only thing. We still handle sewer and water lines, septic, grading, driveways, and emergency digs across town.

Hunterdon County is rural and agricultural, heavy on well and septic systems, stone, and long private drives. It is exactly the kind of ground our equipment is built for.
As a township, Alexandria has the kind of larger properties where septic systems, grading, drainage, land clearing, and long driveways come up most. Whether it is an emergency sewer or water line dig-out, a septic system, a lot that will not drain, or a new driveway, we bring our own equipment and an operator who knows the ground in this part of Hunterdon County. We show up when we say we will, and we leave your property graded and clean.

A look at recent excavation, utility, and site work from around Hunterdon County and northern New Jersey.
What tends to be in the ground in Alexandria
The biggest single stretch of building in Alexandria came in the 1990s, though the township's 1,863 housing units are spread fairly wide across the decades.
About 18% predates 1940, so there is a real pocket of clay and galvanized service in Alexandria sitting alongside much newer stock.
A smaller share, around 20%, falls in the 1940s-to-early-70s Orangeburg era, so it turns up on some streets and not others.
Housing-age figures: US Census American Community Survey 2019–2023 5-year estimates, table B25034. Pipe service lives are documented industry figures. What is actually under any one property varies, so we confirm it on site before we quote a replacement.
Most of Alexandria is on a private well
About 1.2% of Alexandria’s land area sits inside a public water purveyor’s delivery area, shared between 2 different systems. The largest is NJ American Water - Frenchtown, then Milford WD. Outside those pockets most properties are on a well, sometimes their own and sometimes one shared with neighbors, and the three situations are different jobs with different rules. Which one you are in is the first thing to settle, and your bill settles it faster than any map.

NJDEP maps actual delivery areas for public community systems, meaning fifteen or more year-round connections; smaller shared and association systems are real but do not appear. Percentages are share of land area, not share of homes, and a state file can lag a change of ownership. The name on your bill beats any map, including this one.
Sewer in Alexandria is a pocket, not a network
About 1.5% of Alexandria’s land area falls inside a mapped sewer service area. The largest share goes to Salvation Army Camp Tecumseh Wastewater Treatment Plant, with 4 smaller works alongside it. A service area is where sewer is planned and permitted, not a promise that a main runs past your house, so the only way to settle it for one address is to look. Outside it, septic.
Sewer connections, laterals and septic work are all things we do, and which one you need is usually settled in one phone call. Sewer and water line work.
