Excavation & Site Work Built Around the Property
Foundation excavation, additions, drainage, grading, utility trenching, driveway preparation, land clearing, and related site work throughout Connecticut.
More Than Moving Dirt
Successful excavation depends on understanding access, elevations, soils, drainage, utilities, material movement, and what the property needs to look like when the machine leaves.
Alan brings extensive field experience as an equipment operator and works directly with homeowners, builders, plumbers, electricians, engineers, and other contractors. He evaluates the site, defines the excavation scope, and remains hands-on through grading and cleanup.

Foundation Excavation for Contractors & Homeowners
Whether the project is a new foundation or an addition, Alan can coordinate excavation dimensions, access, stockpiles, export, backfill, drainage, and utility needs with the builder or foundation contractor. The written estimate should clearly identify what is included, who supplies layout or engineering, and whether material removal or imported fill is anticipated.
