Digging in Kittery
Digging close to the water.
With so much shoreline, a lot of excavation in Kittery happens near the water: digs for new foundations under raised homes, drainage on low lots and regrading after storms.
Work close to the shore can fall under Maine's shoreland zoning, so we plan access, erosion control and disturbance limits before digging.
Inland, Kittery projects look like any growing town: new house sites, garages, additions and utility work.

FAQ
Excavation in Kittery: questions
Do shoreland rules affect digging near the water?
They can. Maine's shoreland zoning applies close to the shore, and we check what applies before work starts.
Can you fix drainage on a low lot?
Often, yes, with grading and drainage. On very low waterfront lots, raising the house may be the bigger fix.
Do you call Dig Safe?
Yes, on every job, so buried lines are marked first.
Do you build the foundation too?
Yes. Excavation, foundations and structural work are all done by our crew.
