Services
Site Development
Our comprehensive site development services prepare land for construction through precise grading, drainage installation, and utility coordination. We handle residential subdivisions, commercial properties, and municipal projects with specialized equipment and experienced crews. Our work meets all regulatory requirements while optimizing land usability for clients across Western Maine.
Septic Systems
We design and install durable septic systems compliant with Maine environmental regulations. Our certified technicians handle complete system installation including tank placement, leach field construction, and final inspections. Regular maintenance and repair services ensure long-term functionality for residential and commercial properties in areas without municipal sewer access.
Snow Removal
Our commercial snow removal service utilizes heavy equipment to clear large parking lots, roadways, and industrial sites during Maine's harsh winters. We offer 24/7 emergency response for critical access needs and maintain regular service schedules for businesses requiring consistent snow management throughout the season.
Material Delivery
We deliver construction materials including sand, gravel, rock, and screened loam from our local pits to projects across Oxford County. Our delivery service covers both bulk orders for commercial projects and smaller quantities for residential customers within a 20-mile radius of West Paris.
Land Grading
Our precision land grading creates proper drainage patterns and stable foundations for construction projects. Using GPS-guided equipment, we achieve exact slope specifications for residential lots, commercial sites, and roadways while minimizing environmental impact through erosion control measures.
