Services & Process

Manley Hillicoss Excavating II handles septic system services combined with landscaping capabilities that cover site preparation and restoration. Septic work in rural Greene County often involves full system installations on undeveloped lots, which requires soil testing, proper setback compliance, and careful excavation. Landscaping services can restore a yard after a septic installation or drain field replacement, regrading and reseeding areas disturbed by heavy equipment. This combination reduces the number of contractors a property owner needs to hire for a complete septic project.

Service Area

Manley Hillicoss Excavating II operates out of West Coxsackie and serves clients throughout Greene County, NY. The Hudson River communities of Coxsackie, Athens, and Catskill are all nearby, along with rural properties extending into the surrounding hills and farmland. Greene County's largely rural character means most residential properties outside village centers rely on private septic systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What soil testing is required before installing a septic system in Greene County?
Greene County requires a percolation test and often a soil profile evaluation to determine how quickly your soil absorbs water. These tests dictate the size and type of system that can be installed on your property.
How long does a full septic system installation take in West Coxsackie?
A new installation typically takes one to three days for the actual excavation and installation work, not counting permit approval time. Rural properties with easy equipment access generally move faster than tight or heavily wooded lots.
Can landscaping work be done over a septic drain field?
Shallow-rooted grass is the best cover for a drain field, and some ground cover plants work as well. Trees, shrubs, and deep-rooted plants should be kept away from the field to prevent root intrusion into the pipes.
Does Greene County have specific setback requirements for septic systems?
Yes, New York State and Greene County both have setback rules that dictate minimum distances from wells, property lines, and water bodies. A licensed installer will design the system to meet all applicable requirements.
What happens to my yard after a septic system is installed or repaired?
Excavation work leaves disturbed soil that needs regrading and reseeding to stabilize and restore the surface. Providers that offer landscaping can handle this restoration as part of the same project.
Are there any restrictions near the Hudson River that affect septic installations?
Properties close to the Hudson River may be subject to additional state or county environmental setback requirements to protect water quality. Your installer should be familiar with these rules and factor them into the system design.
