Excavation Contractors in Depew, NY

Excavation contractors in Depew work in a village built around the railroad. Ground was broken on May 17, 1892, the New York Central shops opened April 1, 1893, and about 500 homes stood in the village by May 1895. Depew straddles Transit Road (NY 78): the western half is in the Town of Cheektowaga and the eastern half in the Town of Lancaster.

Two towns, one village

Village rules apply throughout Depew, but some town-level matters differ depending on which side of Transit Road you are on. We confirm the right offices for your address.

Old and newer housing

The 2020 census counted 15,178 residents and 7,270 housing units on about 5.08 square miles, down from a 1970 peak of 22,158. Homes range from 1890s rail-worker houses to postwar ranches. Laterals and drainage are the most common needs.

Railroad ground

Land near the old shops and rail lines can hold cinders and industrial fill. We sort it from clean soil and haul it where needed.

Planning a Depew job

Depew's lots are compact, with detached garages and small backyards. Compact equipment and careful truck staging are standard. Transit Road traffic is heavy, so we avoid staging there when possible.

Postwar homes too

Beyond the 1890s rail-worker houses, much of Depew was filled in after World War II. Those homes now need lateral replacement, foundation drainage and new driveways.

Drainage on flat lots

Depew is flat, and snowmelt pools in low yards. Regrading and downspout lines usually solve it.
