Digging in Sanford
Excavation for a growing city.
Sanford has close to 22,000 people and is one of Maine's larger municipalities. That means steady demand for new house sites, garages, additions and utility work.
In older neighborhoods near the Mousam and in Springvale, digs happen beside century old homes, so we protect existing foundations while we work.
We plan each dig around the foundation going in it, since our crew builds that too.
