Buffalo, NY — Excavation Contractor
Excavation & Site Work in Buffalo, NY
Skid steer work for real-world jobs — grading, stump grinding, post holes, and site prep, done with utilities marked first.
Most excavation jobs aren't big commercial digs — they're the practical jobs homeowners actually need: regrading a yard that holds water against the foundation, grinding out stumps, digging post holes for a deck or fence, or prepping a site for a garage or addition. Small machine, right-sized for residential lots, operated by someone who treats your yard like it's his own.
Campbell's Construction & Excavation runs skid steer excavation across Buffalo and the Southtowns — Hamburg, Blasdell, Lackawanna, West Seneca, Orchard Park, and East Aurora. And because we're a full construction crew — not just a guy with a machine — the site work ties straight into whatever you're building next.
Buffalo's housing changes block by block — brick colonials and doubles in North Buffalo and the Elmwood Village, older frames in South Buffalo (14220) and the West Side, and plenty of homes that have been standing for a century. Older lots mean older drainage — regrading, stump removal, and post holes for fences and decks are our most common calls. We take city jobs regularly, including permit work in South Buffalo, and the estimate process is the same as any suburban job.
What's included
- Skid steer grading and regrading around foundations
- Stump grinding and removal
- Post holes for decks, fences, and pole structures
- Site prep for garages, additions, and sheds
- Yard cleanup and rough finish grading
- Utility marking (UDig NY / 811) before every dig
We mark utilities before we dig. Every time.
Around here, gas, electric, water, and telecom run closer to the surface — and closer together — than most homeowners expect. Before any machine touches your yard, we call in a utility mark-out so every line is flagged. It's the law, it's free, and it's the difference between a smooth job and a very bad day. If a contractor is willing to dig without marked utilities, that's your sign to call someone else.
Our process
We look at grades, access for the machine, and what you're trying to accomplish — drainage, prep, or cleanup.
Utility mark-out gets called in, and you get one written price for the work.
Machine in, job done, machine out — with the yard left as clean as the work allows.
We check grades and finish with you before we leave.
Drainage problems start with grade
Water in the basement, a soggy side yard, mulch washing out every spring — nine times out of ten, it's a grading problem. Soil settles against foundations over the years and starts pitching water toward the house instead of away from it. Regrading is often a one-day fix that solves what gutters and sump pumps alone can't.
