Professional Excavating: Clear, Grade, and Drain—Done Right

Florida Panhandle lots take a beating—intense sun, heavy humidity, and the occasional tropical storm push water and sand where they don’t belong. What protects a property here is smart dirt work. Our excavation team shapes the land so it drains, holds, and lasts. We clear and grade, cut swales, set culverts, install French drains, and build stable pads and driveways—using methods and materials that stand up to saturated soils, high water tables, and storm run-off. The result: a site that stays dry, stable, and ready for whatever you build next.

Land Clearing & Debris Haul-Off

We remove trees, brush, and stumps, then haul everything off so you start clean. Expect tight machine control around structures and property lines, plus erosion controls in place before the first scoop.

Precision Grading & Building Pads

Your slab is only as good as the pad beneath it. We cut/fill to plan, moisture-condition, compact to spec, and proof-roll for a firm, even base. Laser-guided grading keeps elevations true for patios, shops, and new homes.

Drainage Solutions: Swales, Culverts & French Drains

Standing water ruins yards and structures. We shape swales, install culverts at drive entrances, and add French drains where needed to move water off your site fast. Proper slope, fabric, and washed rock mean it keeps working through storm season.

Driveways & Access Roads

From temporary construction access to long-term driveways, we build a stable base that won’t rut out. Geotextile fabric, compacted limerock, and a proper crown keep vehicles moving and maintenance low.

Utility Trenching & Septic Prep

We trench for water, power, and communications with clean bedding, correct depth, and tidy backfill. For septic systems, we excavate tanks and drain fields to plan and protect the surrounding soils from contamination or settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas does Mako Contractors serve?

Mako Contractors is based in Freeport, Florida, and serves the Florida Panhandle, including 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Defuniak Springs, Destin, Miramar Beach, Niceville, and nearby communities. If your property sits in or near these areas, reach out with your address and we will confirm service availability.

What types of projects do you handle?

We focus on outdoor and site improvement work. Our main services include landscaping, fence installation, and excavation. That covers projects like new yard builds, drainage solutions, driveways, hardscapes, property cleanups, privacy and pool fences, and site prep for future builds or additions.

Do you work with both homeowners and businesses?

Yes. We complete projects for homeowners, rental owners, HOAs, and commercial clients. That includes single homes, vacation rentals along 30A, neighborhoods, retail sites, and light commercial properties. We tailor each plan to the property type, guest traffic, and long-term maintenance needs.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Mako Contractors holds proper licensing and insurance for our work in Florida. This protects property owners, tenants, and our crew on each job. During the estimate, we can provide proof of coverage so you feel confident before any work starts on your site.

How does the estimate process work?

First, we schedule an on-site visit to walk the property, discuss goals, and review any problem areas such as drainage, access, or privacy concerns. Then we provide a written estimate that outlines scope, materials, and pricing. Estimates are free and come with no pressure to book.

How soon can you start my project?

Start timing depends on project size, material availability, and current schedule. Smaller projects may start within a short window once the estimate gets approved; larger landscape or excavation jobs may book further out. During the quote, we share a realistic timeline so you know what to expect.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance or one-time service only?

We provide both. Many clients start with a one-time project such as a cleanup, new fence, or grading job, then move into a maintenance plan for landscaping or property care. We can recommend a schedule that fits your property, whether you live on-site or manage a rental from a distance.

"Perfect for our 30A Property."

We manage a rental near 30A and needed reliable help with landscaping and general property cleanup between guests. Mako keeps the beds trimmed, pine straw fresh, and walkways clear. The place looks sharp in photos and our guests notice. Easy to work with and quick to respond.

Mark, T., Seagrove Beach, FL

"Fence looks great and the gate actually works"

We hired Mako Contractors for a new wood privacy fence and an aluminum pool fence at our home in Freeport. They walked the line with us, explained options, and finished the job faster than we expected. The fence looks great and the gates actually work the way they should.

James, R., Freeport, FL

☆☆☆☆☆

"Solved our drainage problem the right way"

Our driveway and side yard in Defuniak Springs used to flood every time it rained. Mako came out, graded the area, added a small retaining wall, and fixed the drainage. They explained each step and cleaned up before they left. We finally have a solid solution instead of a temporary fix.

Mako cleaned up our whole yard in Santa Rosa Beach, added fresh pine straw, and fixed some irrigation issues we’d been ignoring for years. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and left everything neat. Our yard looks better than it ever has.
