Excavation Contractors in North Tonawanda, NY

Excavation contractors in North Tonawanda work in a Niagara County city surrounded by water. Tonawanda Creek forms the southern border, the Niagara River the western border, and the Erie Canal much of the eastern and southern edge. North Tonawanda was a major lumber shipping center from the mid-1800s into the 1970s, and more than 150 lumber companies have operated there.

Snow and frost

Climate normals for 1991 to 2020 list 79.8 inches of snow a year and an average January high of 33.2 degrees. Lines go below frost, and drainage is planned for spring melt.

Older housing, few vacancies

The 2020 census counted 30,496 residents and 15,087 housing units, with a homeowner vacancy rate of just 0.8 percent. Many homes are older and need laterals, drainage and garage work.

Waterfront ground

Low lots near the creek, river and canal have high groundwater and floodplain limits. Old lumber-yard and industrial ground can hold fill.

Planning a North Tonawanda job

The city's older neighborhoods have closely spaced homes with detached garages and small yards. Compact equipment and careful staging are standard. Near the waterfront, groundwater can rise into trenches, and we plan pumping where needed.

Lumber-era ground

The city's long history as a lumber port means old yards, mills and docks once stood near the water. Digs in those areas can turn up wood debris and fill, which we sort and haul.
