Planning for Record Snow
Excavation contractors in Hamburg plan around some of the heaviest snow in the region. The town recorded 81.2 inches from November 16 to 18, 2022, a town record. Lake Erie forms the western border, Eighteen Mile Creek the southern boundary, and the Seaway Trail follows Route 5 along the shore. The town had 60,085 residents in 2020 across about 41.4 square miles, including the villages of Hamburg and Blasdell.
Meltwater
Snow that heavy has to go somewhere when it melts. Yards that stay soaked into May, basements that leak during thaws, and driveways that heave point to drainage problems. Regrading, French drains and downspout lines are common Hamburg jobs.
Lakeshore and creek lots
Lots along the lake and Eighteen Mile Creek face erosion and floodplain limits. Grading near banks needs care, and some work needs approvals.
Industry and the fair
Ford runs a stamping plant in Blasdell, and the Erie County Fair occupies a 275-acre site near the village. Commercial and residential land sit close together in parts of town.
Planning a Hamburg job
Hamburg ranges from village streets and the dense Blasdell area to lakeshore homes and rural parcels inland. Village jobs are usually laterals, garages and drainage; rural jobs are clearing, driveways and barn pads. We plan equipment and access to match.
Frost and backfill
Heavy snow years mean deep frost and slow spring thaw. Trenches backfilled loosely sink into ditches by spring. We compact in lifts so yards stay level.

- French drains and regrading
