Excavation in Cortland, NY
Excavation, footings and site prep in Cortland and Homer.
Excavation for Cortland homes and properties
Cortland sits in the Tioughnioga valley along I-81, between Syracuse and Binghamton. Freeze-thaw and salt are hard on flatwork here, and valley lots can stay wet into spring.
Excavation with our own equipment
Footings, foundation digs, trenches, tank work and site prep with our own mini excavator and track loader, plus our own dump truck to haul material in and out. The same crew that digs is the one that pours, so nothing waits on a second contractor. Learn more on our excavation & foundation digs page.
