At Cedar Construction Group, excavation is more than simply moving dirt — it’s the foundation of everything that follows. The decisions made during site work directly impact the structural performance, drainage, and long-term durability of your home or project.
As a professional excavation and site work contractor serving Southern Maine, York County, the Maine Lakes Region, and New Hampshire — including the New Hampshire Lakes Region — we approach every project with stability, grading strategy, and water management as top priorities. New England’s soil conditions, frost depth, and seasonal weather patterns require careful planning and proper execution from day one.
Proper site preparation affects foundation integrity, drainage control, driveway longevity, septic performance, and overall build quality. We take the time to evaluate elevation, runoff patterns, soil composition, and structural requirements before excavation begins. Our team works closely with engineers, surveyors, and builders to ensure the site is prepared correctly and efficiently.
From foundation excavation and land clearing to grading, drainage systems, and utility trenching, we execute excavation with precision and professional oversight — ensuring your project starts on solid ground and is built to perform long term in Maine and New Hampshire’s demanding climate.
We provide excavation services for new home construction, additions, reconstruction projects, lakefront builds, and residential land development.
In Maine and New Hampshire, drainage is critical.
We design and install grading plans and drainage systems to help manage:
Proper grading and water management reduce long-term foundation risk, basement moisture issues, and soil erosion — especially on sloped or lakefront properties.
We understand the local soil types, ledge conditions, frost depth requirements, and seasonal challenges across:
Sanford • Kennebunk • Wells • York • Biddeford • Saco • Portland • Cumberland County
Sebago • Naples • Windham • Raymond • Bridgton
Portsmouth • Dover • Rochester • Wolfeboro • Laconia • Meredith • Moultonborough
From coastal sandier soils to inland clay and rocky terrain, our excavation planning accounts for proper compaction, frost protection, and long-term structural performance.
Because we are also a residential construction contractor, our excavation division works directly with foundation contractors, engineers, and site planners to ensure seamless project flow.
This integration allows for:
Whether preparing a lot for a custom home, completing excavation for a select build, or supporting a reconstruction project, Cedar Construction Group delivers organized, professionally managed site work.
