About
Equipment-led land & site work
JKE Construction is owned and operated by Plinio, serving Dutchess County, NY and the surrounding Hudson Valley, New York.
Our history
JKE Construction is a family-owned company that began in 2000 with a pickup truck, a trailer, and a father-and-son work ethic. Over more than 25 years, the company has grown through practical field experience, repeat customers, architect referrals, equipment capability, and a focus on helping property owners make difficult land usable again.
Plinio remains the experienced hand on the equipment — the field work runs through him directly. On projects that call for it, the crew scales up to match the job; how a given project is staffed depends on its scope, which is part of what gets worked out during the site walk.
What we do
JKE Construction runs a Bobcat skid steer with mulching, bucket, and grapple attachments, a tracked chipper, and excavation equipment to turn overgrown, wooded, or unusable land into cleared, workable ground. That covers forestry mulching, wood chipping, brush hogging, material handling, and excavator site work — for rural landowners, farms, estates, and the architects, surveyors, and builders working alongside them.
What we’re not
To be clear about what to expect: JKE Construction is not —
- A homebuilder or general contractor
- A lawn-mowing or hedge-trimming service
- A generic handyman business
If your project is equipment-led land or site work, it’s likely a fit. If you’re not sure, ask when you call.
How we work
We walk the site before we quote it
Access, terrain, and boundaries vary too much property to property to price from a phone call alone. We look at the ground before giving you a number.
We tell you what's realistic
If a request needs a different kind of equipment or contractor than what we run, we'll say so rather than take on work outside our scope.
We leave the site usable
The job isn't done when the cutting stops — debris is mulched, chipped, or hauled per the plan, not left in piles.
