Excavation for New Canaan foundations, additions, and pool installations. Drainage solutions for wooded Smith Ridge lots. Utility trenches through dense canopy on Silvermine properties. We work the New Canaan terrain that combines rocky ledge, mature trees, and elevation changes every project.
Excavation is the work that has to happen before most other construction can start. Foundation digs, trenches for utilities, drainage channels, grading, and site prep for additions. The work is invisible once the project is finished, but if the excavation was done badly, every later step costs more. We have been excavating Connecticut sites for 25 years.
Foundation digs, utility trenches, and pool excavations. We mark the area, dig to spec, and handle spoil and backfill with proper compaction in lifts. We coordinate with your GC, plumber, and utility company so the work happens in the right order.
Call before you dig first. Access and equipment protection second. Actual dig, grade check, backfill in lifts, and cleanup third. Every step planned before equipment moves on your property.
Compaction, drainage, and property protection are the three failure points. We plan the work zone, protect what stays, and leave the property clean when we are done.

Yes. Two to four acre wooded lots in Silvermine and Smith Ridge are part of our regular service area. Long driveways, mature canopy to protect, dense plantings, and rocky ledge all factor into project planning. We coordinate with arborists when needed to protect significant trees during excavation work.
Depends on the project. Small foundation digs start in the low thousands. Pool excavations on rocky New Canaan ground run higher because of ledge work. Wooded lot foundations with limited access cost more than open commercial sites typically. Free site visit and written scope before any equipment moves.
New Canaan properties often have rocky ledge close to the surface. We assess ledge conditions during the site visit and bring rock breaking equipment when needed. Sometimes ledge changes foundation design or position because excavating through ledge is expensive and slow on residential excavation projects throughout New Canaan.
Yes. We coordinate directly with general contractors, foundation contractors, pool builders, and site engineers on New Canaan projects. Daily updates, schedule adjustments based on weather or inspection delays, and tight communication throughout the project scope. We work as part of the team rather than as a separate vendor.
