Excavation Contractors in Lancaster, NY

Excavation contractors in Lancaster work on both sides of a changing town. Lancaster entered a period of rapid growth in the early 1990s, concentrated in its southern and eastern parts, and had 45,106 residents in 2020, up 8.4 percent from 2010. Yet the area east of Bowen Road is still largely rural. That means new subdivisions, older village homes and farm parcels all in one town.

Three creeks

Cayuga Creek flows west through the town and village, Ellicott Creek runs through the northern part including Bowmansville, and Scajaquada Creek rises in the north. Each brings floodplain limits and wetter soil to nearby lots.

New construction and settling yards

Homes from the 1990s and later growth have builder grading that has settled. Drainage correction, pools and patio bases are common. New construction brings clearing, foundation digs and utility trenches.

Old stone

The Warren Hull House, built in 1810, is Erie County's oldest surviving stone structure. Older homes in the village often have stone foundations that need careful work beside them.

Planning a Lancaster job

Lancaster's west side and village have older homes on smaller lots, while the south and east have newer subdivisions and open land. We match equipment and approach to the area: compact machines in the village, larger equipment for clearing and site work on acreage.

Bowmansville

The hamlet of Bowmansville in the north sits along Ellicott Creek. Lots near the creek deal with wetter soil and floodplain limits.
