Sitework, utilities & aggregate for Southern Maine

Building the groundwork communities depend on. Woods Excavating works out of Gorham, Maine for engineers, general contractors, and towns across the region, self-performing with its own crews, trucks, and two aggregate pits.

On Maine job sites since 1988

Woods Excavating builds sitework and infrastructure in Southern Maine from our headquarters in Gorham. We perform the full scope of the work for municipalities, water and sewer districts, general contractors, developers, and private owners: clearing and mass excavation; roads and subdivisions; water, sewer, and storm drainage; foundations and building pads; ledge removal and on-site processing; demolition; landfill and regulated-site earthwork; and commercial and public site packages.

We self-perform the work with our own excavators, trucks, and crushing and screening equipment, and we supply the aggregate from our two pits in Standish and Buxton. We carry the bonding public work requires. We have served as general contractor on state facility projects. Our foremen run their jobs from the field, in the towns where most of our crew live.

The work they performed to complete the sitework, including the installation of the water infrastructure, has been done well without delays on the anticipated project schedule and within tolerance of the originally estimated cost budget. The project managers/estimators, superintendents, operators and laborers… have been a pleasure to work with.

The finished Portland Rugby Club championship field
Woods Excavating stayed engaged through those stretches, worked with us to find practical solutions… That flexibility mattered.

The finished Westbrook Armory parking lot, fresh pavement in front of the armory building
We had to compress a yearlong project into three months… We were also fortunate in having a great general contractor that got the job done and the right way. Not sure another GC could have pulled this off, especially considering they successfully executed two parking lot projects for me simultaneously.
