MacDonald Excavation, Excavating Contractors in Cumberland & York County

Excavation services are used in many different applications. Excavating is more than just digging a hole in the ground. Depending on the needs of your construction project, you may require excavation services from contractors specializing in different areas of excavation. Whether it’s trenching, road construction, basement excavation, or drainage excavation, you need to ensure that you are hiring an experienced and professional excavation services provider to do the work.

A septic system is a connected system of components put together underground that will use natural processes to treat wastewater on-site. If you are doing construction in the country or "out of town" more than likely you will not have municipal water or sewer available to tap into.

If you are having water problems or are building and need to be sure you never have water problems, we can help. You do not want to let poor drainage create problems with your home or landscaping. A piece of land may look great to a buyer but may not be so great to an expert builder. There can be soil type issues, ledge, high water tables, and poor drainage that can drive up costs.

As part of our excavation service, we offer building removal or demolition services. If you found the perfect piece of land to purchase that you could build a new home or office building but, there is this old dilapidated building sitting on it, give us a call for demolition service. We have taken down full buildings like old houses, barns, garages, and sheds.

MacDonald Excavation has a team of very experienced excavation contractors and the equipment needed to do those excavation projects like lot and land clearing. We offer excavation and site work for backyard expansions to house lots and commercial lots of various sizes.

When you think about site work it is a term that contractors use, but simply it means the work that needs to be done other than the actual building of a house or a structure. The typical types of site work might be grading, excavation, construction and installation of septic tanks and filtration systems, driveways and other utilities.
