Excavation Contractors in West Seneca, NY

Excavation contractors in West Seneca work in a town crossed by both Cazenovia Creek and the Buffalo River. The town covers 21.41 square miles, and its population almost doubled in the 1950s, from 17,417 to 33,644. The 2020 census counted 45,500 residents, and the 2010 count listed 18,982 housing units.

Creek lots

Homes near Cazenovia Creek and the Buffalo River deal with high water, ice jams and floodplain rules. Grading and fill near the creek are limited, and drainage plans focus on getting water to the storm system without raising grades.

1950s homes

With so many homes from that boom, laterals, foundations and driveways are 60 to 70 years old. Lateral replacement, foundation drainage and garage removal are routine.

Late settlement

The area was not open to European settlement until the mid-1800s; the German Lutheran Ebenezer Society bought land around 1843 and moved on by 1863. A few older structures from that era remain.

Planning a West Seneca job

West Seneca's 1950s neighborhoods have suburban lots with room for compact equipment. Many homes back onto creek corridors or wooded areas. Drainage plans account for where water ends up, avoiding new flows onto neighbors or into creek banks.

Ice and high water

Cazenovia Creek is known for ice jams and spring high water. Low lots near it can flood. We avoid placing fill in floodplain areas and design drains that work with high water levels.

Housing density

At about 888 housing units per square mile in 2010, West Seneca is less dense than the inner suburbs, with more room for additions, garages and pools.
