Ten years as Engineered Sewer & Septic, 20 years prior to that in other companies including the “family business”, Sullivan Paving.

In a typical residential construction project, the sitework contractor shows up after the surveying crew determines the house and lot boundaries. The contractor removes the soil to the depth required for the new foundation and ensures that the soil is firm through compaction tests and compaction with equipment, if necessary. The dig requirements are precise, so the excavation contractor must be able to use a level and transit to match the grade posted by the surveying crew. After the foundation contractor pours the footers and stem wall, the excavation contractor backfills around the new foundation.

In general, we do any and every type of sitework, includes grading, excavation, construction and installation of septic tanks, filtration systems, and utility connections. Other types of sitework we provide include the following:

Absolutely. We will gladly do your excavation work for a variety of residential and commercial construction projects.
