Excavation Contractors in Grand Island, NY

Excavation contractors on Grand Island work on the largest island in the Niagara River. The town covers 33.3 square miles, about 15 percent of it water. Single-span bridges opened in 1935, and the second spans and I-190 followed in the 1960s. The population went from 626 in 1930 to 9,607 in 1960 and reached 21,389 in 2020.

Water on every side

With the river all around, groundwater and drainage outlets are central to every project. Low areas near the shore have floodplain limits and wetter soil. Our drainage designs find the nearest legal outlet.

Steady growth

Growth continues, up 5 percent from 2010 to 2020. New homes bring clearing, foundations, driveways and grading; older homes need drainage and laterals.

Parks at both ends

Beaver Island State Park, with a golf course, sits at the south end, and Buckhorn Island State Park at the north end. Lots near them border protected land.

Planning a Grand Island job

Grand Island mixes older homes near the shoreline, postwar neighborhoods and new construction on larger lots in the interior. Shoreline lots need attention to groundwater and floodplain rules; interior lots often involve clearing and driveways.

Bridges and hauling

All trucks reach the island over the I-190 bridges. Hauling schedules and disposal sites are planned with that in mind, and we reuse clean soil on site when we can.
