See Our Excavation and Site Work in Action

At Chad Davis Contracting, we believe our work speaks for itself. With over 25 years of experience in excavation, site preparation, septic installation, grading and land development across the Hudson Valley, we’ve completed hundreds of projects for homeowners, builders and businesses.

Our gallery showcases a variety of completed jobs — from full-scale site prep and utility trenching to septic tank installs and driveway excavations. Every photo reflects our commitment to quality, safety, and results that last.

Pond Excavation and Grading

Watch how we transform raw terrain into usable space. Our pond and swale work is ideal for water management, livestock or landscape enhancement.

Trenching and Utility Installation

Our gallery shows trenches for electric, water, sewer and stormwater systems. Clean cuts, proper depth and careful backfilling — it’s all in the details.

Retaining Walls and Erosion Control

We build retaining walls that support hillsides, control runoff and stabilize soil. From block walls to natural boulders, each wall is engineered to perform.

Driveways and Rural Access

We create and improve driveways for new construction, seasonal cabins and off-grid properties. See how we handle steep grades and long private roads.

Why Visual Proof Matters

Working in Delaware County often means managing steep terrain that requires careful grading and slope stabilization, soil composition that can shift dramatically from dense clay to solid rock, seasonal road conditions that affect access and equipment movement, and septic and drainage planning for remote lots where utilities and infrastructure are limited. With decades of hands-on experience in these environments, we bring the expertise and problem-solving needed to overcome these challenges while keeping your project on schedule, within budget, and built for long-term performance.
