Service Area

• Pine Bush, NY: A rural community spanning Orange and Ulster County, Pine Bush features many wooded properties and farmland. Homeowners here often need land clearing and forestry thinning to prepare plots for new houses or horse barns amid the forests. We’re experienced with Pine Bush’s sandy soils and occasional rocky terrain from the Shawangunk Ridge area. Whether it’s excavating for a home addition in Pine Bush or installing a new septic system on a country lot, we provide solutions suited to the rural landscape. We also help manage erosion and drainage on sloped sites common in this area, protecting the beautiful natural surroundings.

   

• Middletown, NY: As a small city/large town in Orange County, Middletown has a mix of older homes and new developments. Many houses here face aging infrastructure – it’s not uncommon for us to replace old sewer laterals or water service lines in established neighborhoods. We’re familiar with working in tighter urban lots too: trenching for utilities or drainage in backyards with nearby structures, and excavating foundations for home remodels in town. Middletown’s hilly sections require careful grading to prevent runoff from affecting downhill neighbors. We also address stormwater issues that can arise in the city (e.g., installing yard drains to alleviate pooling in areas where municipal storm sewers might be overtaxed). Our knowledge of local building codes and permit processes in Middletown ensures even complex residential projects (like major foundation repairs or subdivision sitework) are done correctly and efficiently.

   

• Monroe, NY: A growing suburban area in Orange County, including communities like Monroe village, Harriman, and surrounding hamlets. Monroe has seen extensive residential development – from new subdivisions to individual custom homes – and we support this growth with full site development services. If you’re building a new house in Monroe, we handle everything from clearing the wooded lot to excavating the basement, installing the septic or hooking to town sewer, and grading the property for a lawn and driveway. Monroe also has many existing homes on varied terrain (some on lakefronts, some on hills). We often help Monroe homeowners with projects like improving drainage on lakefront properties, building retaining walls on steep driveways, or expanding driveways to accommodate more parking. With some older neighborhoods and infrastructure in Monroe as well, we’re called to replace failing septic systems or water lines (particularly in areas not covered by the newer municipal systems). Our team’s familiarity with Monroe’s mix of terrain – from flat valleys to rolling hills – means we can quickly adapt our approach whether we’re digging in soft soil or breaking through shallow bedrock. We are also mindful of Monroe’s local regulations, including any protected wetlands around its lakes and streams, ensuring compliance in environmentally sensitive zones.

   

• Warwick, NY: A large town in southern Orange County known for its rural character, farms, and mountains. Warwick’s landscape ranges from the Black Dirt region (rich, peaty soil used for farming in the lowlands) to the Appalachian foothills with steep slopes and rocky ground. We have the capability to work in both extremes. For Warwick’s farmlands and country estates, we offer land clearing, pond excavation, and road building – for instance, creating long driveways or access roads across fields. We also install and repair a lot of septic systems in Warwick, since many areas are not sewered (following all Orange County Health Dept. rules). In the hillier villages like Greenwood Lake or along the Warwick Valley, controlling storm runoff and erosion is a big concern. We construct drainage ditches, catch basins, and retaining walls to manage water on hillsides and prevent property erosion. Residential development needs in Warwick often involve blending new construction into rural settings: we take care to preserve desirable trees and natural features when clearing, and we can even do forestry thinning to maintain the scenic value of larger properties. From quaint village homes to sprawling farmsteads, Warwick clients trust us to handle their excavation needs with a balance of functionality and environmental respect.

   

• Ellenville, NY: A village in Ulster County with a rich history and surrounding rural areas (Town of Wawarsing). Many homes in Ellenville are decades (if not a century) old, meaning there’s demand for upgrading aging infrastructure – such as replacing old clay sewer pipes or installing modern drainage where none existed. We frequently work on sewer line repairs/replacements in the village and have experience coordinating with local municipal sewer departments. In the outskirts of Ellenville, the terrain becomes mountainous toward the Catskills. Homeowners on the outskirts often need land clearing on wooded lots, driveway construction on steep grades, and foundation excavation on uneven terrain. We’ve tackled jobs like carving out a flat building site on a rocky slope and installing well-designed drainage to handle water coming off the mountain. Ellenville also occasionally faces flooding in low-lying zones near the Sandburg Creek – we provide solutions like berm building and backyard regrading to protect homes from high water. Our familiarity with Ellenville’s local codes and permit requirements (for example, in Ulster County one might need special permits for large fills or working near streams) helps projects progress smoothly. Above all, whether in town or up a back road, we serve Ellenville clients with reliable sitework that lays the groundwork for their improvements.

   

• Kerhonkson, NY: A hamlet in Ulster County, adjacent to vast tracts of forest and parkland (near the Catskill Park and Minnewaska State Park). Kerhonkson properties often feature dense woods, rocky outcrops, and rural terrain, and our excavation services cater to these conditions. We excel at clearing wooded acreage for home sites while preserving the natural beauty as much as possible. Given the rocky soil in parts of Kerhonkson, we are equipped for rock excavation or blasting coordination if needed (for example, to dig a foundation or septic in solid rock areas). Road building is a common request – many sites here require creating a driveway through the woods, including installing culverts to cross small streams or roadside ditches. We understand the drainage challenges in Kerhonkson’s landscape; heavy rain on steep drives can cause washouts, so we incorporate water turnouts and proper crowning of gravel driveways. Also, for any work near sensitive environments (Kerhonkson has creeks feeding the Rondout River and is near protected lands), we follow strict erosion control practices (silt fencing, straw mats on disturbed slopes, etc.) to prevent sediment from impacting the local ecosystem. Residents of Kerhonkson value their peace and privacy – we work considerately, often scheduling around quiet hours and ensuring construction disturbance is minimized. Our ability to adapt to remote and rugged job sites makes us a top choice for excavation projects in this scenic hamlet.

   

• Neversink, NY: A town in Sullivan County known for the Neversink Reservoir and its pristine Catskill Mountain environment. Much of Neversink lies in the NYC watershed (providing drinking water via the reservoir), so environmental regulations are stringent for excavation and septic work. We have experience adhering to NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) watershed rules – for instance, special septic system designs and approvals are required to protect water quality. Homeowners in Neversink typically have large, forested properties or farmland, and we assist with everything from cutting in access roads on raw land to digging foundations for mountain cabins. Aging infrastructure isn’t as big an issue here (the area is more rural and spread out), but septic system upgrades are common – we help replace old cesspools or undersized systems with modern septic tanks and fields that meet today’s standards (a critical need in the watershed to prevent any sewage leaching towards the reservoir). We also address drainage and erosion for Neversink clients; the region’s heavy rains and snowmelt can cause significant runoff on sloped properties. Our team builds drainage swales and retention areas that blend into the natural landscape while effectively controlling water. In Neversink’s rural terrain, reliability is key – there may be fewer local resources, so clients appreciate that we come fully prepared and self-sufficient (bringing all needed equipment, materials, even generators if power is an issue on remote sites). By combining environmental sensitivity with practical know-how, we help Neversink residents improve their properties without compromising the natural resources around them.
