Excavating contractor in York, ME

York's soils change within a short distance. Sandy coastal soils near Long Sands and Short Sands drain fast, while heavier glacial till further inland holds water and slows drainage. Our grading and drainage work accounts for both conditions before any machine starts digging.

Septic system excavation in York requires a licensed site evaluator's soil profile before a permit is issued. Maine rules require at least 12 inches of suitable soil above limiting layers such as ledge or a seasonal high water table. We excavate to the depths and layouts those designs specify.

Many York properties sit on shallow ledge or near wet areas. Retaining walls, foundation excavation, and yard grading on these lots need careful drainage planning so water moves away from the structure instead of pooling against it.
