Complete Site Work for New Residential Construction in Southern and Mid-Coast Maine.
Good Site Work isn’t simply about the individual tasks. It’s about the holistic view of the entire project. As you plan for the construction of a new home, every part of that project will affect another part of it. This is why it’s important to have a professional on your side when it comes to planning out each phase strategically for maximum efficiency.
Drainage affects foundations…access affects septic systems…erosion affects permitting. We approach each site as whole and address its unique needs so that problems aren't building up from day one.
From raw, undeveloped land to a build ready site. Spear Head Excavation covers every phase of site preparation needed for new construction. Our work is sequenced, code-compliant, and designed to support the long term performance of your new home.
Services that most Sites will need
Lot clearing, tree cutting and processing
At the very beginning of undeveloped land in Maine is generally a wooded area that needs to be cleared. Spear Head Excavation offers full service tree processing and land clearing through our Woodsman Company division.
Driveway/New Road Construction
Every site needs access. In Maine there’s no shortage of challenges that your driveway will need to stand up to.
Building a new road isn’t simply a matter of dumping gravel. It takes a professional to properly assess the soil conditions and run off, to make sure that proper drainage is in place, and to use the correct materials needed for your particular Site needs.
Septic System
Spear Head Excavation specializes in Septic System installation. Septics are a key part of most new construction projects. You can find much more information on our Septic Installation page, including information on the process of getting a new system installed, the different types of systems, and frequently asked questions.
Foundation
The foundation is where your new home begins. We cover every part of installation for new concrete foundations including: digging, backfilling, and the concrete itself. We can do full, daylight basements, custom forms to ledge or a Frost Protected Shallow Foundation. More information is available on out Foundations page. Additionally, if you’d like to know more about Frost Protected Shallow Foundations check out the Blog post: A Case for Frost Protected Shallow Foundations.
