Professional excavation services that save you time, money, and headaches down the road.
You get a foundation that won’t settle. Drainage that actually works when the spring thaw hits. A septic system that handles what you throw at it without backing up into your basement.
Most importantly, you get it done right the first time. No callbacks six months later because corners were cut. No surprise water issues because someone didn’t understand how water moves through Adirondack soil.
Your project stays on schedule. Your other contractors can do their work when they’re supposed to. And you can focus on the bigger picture instead of worrying whether the groundwork will hold up.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been moving dirt in the Pottersville area for years. We know what’s under the surface here – the rocky patches, the clay that turns to soup, the spots where water likes to collect.
That local knowledge matters when you’re digging foundations or installing septic systems. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this soil. We know which suppliers have the right materials and which inspectors want to see what.
You’re not getting a crew that’s figuring it out as they go. You’re getting people who’ve done this exact work in this exact area many times before.
First, we walk the site with you. We look at what you’re trying to accomplish, check the lay of the land, and spot any potential issues before we start digging. You get a clear estimate with no surprises.
Then we handle the permits and utility markouts. We coordinate with the other trades so everyone knows when they can do their work. We bring in the right equipment for your specific job – not too big, not too small.
The actual excavation happens fast once we start. We dig to the right depths, grade everything properly, and handle drainage the way it needs to be handled in this climate. When we’re done, your site is ready for the next phase of construction, and we clean up properly so you’re not dealing with a mess.
Ready to get started?
You get site preparation that’s done to specs – proper depths, correct grades, and drainage that works with your property’s natural water flow. We handle foundation excavation, septic system installation, and utility trenching.
We also do the restoration work afterward. That means backfilling, grading, and getting your property back to a condition where you can use it. We don’t just dig holes and leave.
Our equipment is maintained and appropriate for the job. We’re not showing up with a machine that’s too big for your driveway or too small to handle ledge. And we coordinate with inspectors so you pass on the first try.
