What I Handle
Seven services I run year-round — excavation, trees, drainage, stone, and plowing. Scroll through to see what each one actually looks like on a job site.
Where Vision
Meets the Land
Design, installation, and seasonal maintenance. Plantings that fit how you actually use the yard — picked for what holds up in Lakes Region soil and what doesn’t.
Explore Landscaping →Precision That
Protects
Tree removal, pruning, and stump grinding. Single trees with rot or lean, storm-damaged wood, or full lot clearing — done with care for what’s left standing.
Explore Tree Services →Reclaiming
Ground
Brush hogging, forestry mulching, lot clearing. Overgrown fields, fence lines, abandoned pastures, trails back through the woods — I open them up without flattening what shouldn’t go.
Explore Brush Hogging →The Foundation
of Everything
Foundations, driveways, septic excavation, and site prep across central NH. The dig-and-level part of any project — done right the first time so the concrete, driveway, or septic system that follows actually holds.
Explore Excavation Contractor Services →Beneath the
Surface
Foundation drainage, curtain drains, perimeter rock beds, septic installs and repairs. The stuff you don’t see — but the stuff that decides whether the basement stays dry and the tank stops backing up.
Explore Drainage & Septic →Quality From
the Ground Up
Loam, mulch, gravel, crushed stone, sand. Delivered to the site or loaded at the yard — matched to what the job actually needs, not just what’s on the truck that day.
Explore Materials →Reliable Through
the Storm
Snow plowing and sanding for driveways and small lots in Hill, Bristol, and the surrounding towns. Plowed before you’re up for work — through the big storms and the middle-of-the-night ones.

Shawn O'Connor
Fifteen-plus years working the land in central New Hampshire. Every project is handled by Shawn directly — no subcontracted crews, no unfamiliar faces showing up at your door. Just an owner-operator who's built his name on honest pricing and doing the work right the first time.
When he's not behind the wheel of an excavator or a plow truck, he's usually somewhere on the property with Amelia, the unofficial site manager.
From the Lakes Region
“I've recommended Shawn to several others over the years — tree work, drainage, dirt work, excavation. I wish there were ten stars instead of five.”
“He handles everything from plowing my driveway to delivering crushed stone exactly where I need it. Knowing he's available to check on my second home gives me real peace of mind.”
“Shawn did my driveway and I couldn't be more pleased. Incredible work ethic, honest to the core, and the driveway looks fantastic. No surprises, no shortcuts.”
