Professional earthwork and environmental construction for Southern Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay region.
Environmental Construction, Site Prep & Land Development
Heavy Earthwork. Professional Execution. No Guesswork.
You’re dealing with serious land work. That means you need:
Real equipment, not a pickup and a shovel
Experienced operators who know how to move ground safely
A structured team, not a one-man show
Correct grading, clearing, and stabilization from day one
Stormwater expertise that prevents costly failures later
McKenzie handles the heavy lifting for residential, light commercial, HOAs, and developers, clearing, shaping, stabilizing, and engineering your site the right way the first time.
Professional. Structured. Proven.
Why Builders, HOAs, and Homeowners Choose McKenzie
You’re not hiring a “guy with a machine.” You’re hiring an organized, fully licensed operation with:
In-house crews who know their craft
Dedicated project management
Real-time communication
Environmental knowledge rooted in Chesapeake Bay compliance
The equipment and manpower to handle serious dirt work
If you want a site prepped, stabilized, cleared, or corrected the right way, we’re the team.
“I’ve used McKenzie Contracting countless times for both personal and professional projects, and they never disappoint.

Site Preparation & Land Clearing
Whether you’re preparing to build, expanding your property, or reclaiming overgrown land, we clear, shape, and stabilize the site so it’s ready for what comes next. Trees down, debris out, ground leveled, fast, safe, and professional.
-
Grading, Erosion Control & Soil Stabilization
Incorrect grading and unstable soil create long-term problems: sinking structures, drainage failures, erosion, and safety hazards. We correct grades, stabilize slopes, build structural retaining solutions, and prepare ground that holds up, not washes out.
-
Drainage Correction & Stormwater Systems
Stormwater mistakes are expensive. We design and install complete drainage systems for homes, HOAs, and light commercial properties, including French drains, swales, outfalls, stabilization, and full stormwater compliance solutions.
-
Excavation & Demolition
We handle precise excavation for additions, new builds, utilities, and environmental projects, along with safe demolition of structures, hardscapes, and site elements. Our crews operate the equipment most contractors rent once a year.
-
Forestry Mulching & Environmental Construction
Brush, invasives, undergrowth, and unmanaged land get cleared fast with professional forestry mulching. We also support environmental construction tied to Chesapeake Bay requirements, shoreline-adjacent work, and sensitive land areas requiring compliance.
