Larger Lots in the Southtowns

Excavation contractors in Orchard Park work on more open ground than in the inner suburbs. The town covers 38.52 square miles with 29,686 residents in 2020, and the 2010 count listed 10,644 housing units, about 276 per square mile. Highmark Stadium, home of the Buffalo Bills, sits in the hamlet of Windom on the western edge, and Chestnut Ridge Park, the largest park in Erie County, is at the southern end.

Hillier than the city

The Southtowns are hillier than Buffalo. Sloped lots bring runoff from uphill, and grading plans need to account for it. Curtain drains and swales are common, along with pads cut into slopes for garages and pole barns.

New homes and big projects

Larger lots mean pools, pole barns, long driveways and new home sites. Clearing, foundation digs, utility trenches and grading are often done together, and we can handle the whole sequence.

Quaker roots

Didymus and Phebe Kinney built a cabin in 1803, Quaker settlers began arriving in 1804, and the town took the name Orchard Park in 1934. Older farmhouses dot the town, often with stone foundations and old wells to locate before digging.

Planning an Orchard Park job

At about 276 housing units per square mile, Orchard Park has more open land than most Buffalo suburbs. Projects often combine several types of work: clearing, a foundation dig, utility trenches, a long driveway and finish grading. One crew handling the whole sequence keeps the schedule simple.

Game days

Highmark Stadium traffic affects roads on the western edge of town. We schedule hauling to avoid game days.
