Greene County-Specific Excavation Considerations
Building in the northern Catskills often means managing sloped or uneven terrain, limited road access or private drives, seasonal runoff and high water tables, and large boulders or shallow bedrock, all of which can complicate everything from basic site access to long-term structural stability. With decades of experience working in these exact conditions, we understand how these challenges interact with soil behavior, drainage patterns, and construction timelines. Our excavation plans are carefully designed to anticipate issues before they arise, ensuring proper water management, dependable structural support, and lasting performance — even in the most rugged and hard-to-reach parts of the county.
