Expert Site Excavation in Albany, NY
Site excavation in Catskill means working with ground that does not always cooperate. Catskill-area soils are often rocky, with high stone content, uneven grades, and pockets of shallow bedrock that can surprise property owners mid-project. Richters Tree Service handles the full scope of site excavation work: land clearing, rough grading, foundation digs, trench cutting, and soil removal. We size our equipment to your lot, whether that is a tight residential parcel or a larger rural property with limited access. Greene County properties also deal with seasonal runoff and high water tables, so we read drainage patterns before we dig. That planning protects your foundation and the surrounding land. Every cut we make is based on your build plans and the actual conditions on your site. If your project is in Catskill and the ground needs to be moved, shaped, or cleared before construction can start, call Richters Tree Service to schedule a site visit.
