Digging in Hampton
Sand at the beach, solid ground inland.
Excavation in Hampton changes a lot depending on where you are. Near the ocean and marsh, the ground is sandy and wet, and digs often support new pile foundations, raised homes and drainage.
Inland, toward the town center and Bride Hill, projects look more like the rest of New Hampshire: new house sites, additions, garages and utility work.
Either way, the dig is planned around what will be built in it, since our crew also handles the foundation and structural work.

Three common kinds of digs we do in town.
Beach
Site work for raised homes
When a beach home is lifted, we handle the digging and site prep for its new pile or vented foundation.
Drainage
Getting water to go somewhere
Low lots near the marsh need drainage and grading planned carefully so water moves off the property.
Inland
New homes and additions
Clearing, cellar holes, footings and trenches for new projects away from the shore.

FAQ
Excavation in Hampton: questions
Is digging near the beach different?
Yes. Sandy, wet soil and flood zone rules shape how we dig and what foundation goes in. We plan for both before starting.
Can you fix drainage on my low Hampton lot?
Often, yes. Grading and drainage can move water off the property, though on very low lots near the marsh, raising the house may be the bigger fix.
Do you call Dig Safe?
Yes, on every job, so buried gas, electric, water and communication lines are marked first.
Do you build the foundation too?
Yes. We handle excavation, foundations and structural work with one crew.
