Excavation & site work

Solid groundwork for building sites, driveways and property improvements on rocky Maine land.

Overview

Good projects start below the surface. Maine ground brings ledge, uneven grades, wet soils and rock, so we clear, grade and prepare sites carefully — water goes where it should, driveways hold up through frost and spring thaw, and new construction starts on ground that's ready for it.

Capabilities

What excavation & site work covers

  • Land clearing & grading

    Sites shaped and prepared for what comes next.

    • Tree, brush and stump removal
    • Natural surroundings preserved where possible
    • Contouring and leveling
    • Drainage and erosion control
    • Managing standing water
    • Preparation for house sites, barn pads and property improvements
  • Driveways & private roads

    Built to resist rutting, washouts and frost heaves.

    • Layout and gravel bases
    • Compaction and culverts
    • Surface grading and finishing
    • Reconstruction and repair of existing driveways and camp roads
  • Water management & drainage

    Runoff diverted away from buildings to reduce pooling and flooding.

    • Perimeter drains
    • Culverts and swales
    • Trench drains
    • Crushed-stone bases
    • Grading to direct water away from structures
  • Demolition & site preparation

    Clearing the way for new construction.

    • Removal of old structures and foundations
    • Debris removal
    • Clean backfill and subgrade compaction
    • Basement excavation
    • Preparation for new construction

From small residential digs to larger multi-acre sites, for homeowners, builders and developers — rocky terrain, wet springs and frost all shape how a site should be prepared, and we plan for them from the start.
