Expert Excavation Services in Castine, ME

Excavation services in Castine and the surrounding coastal Maine region require more than heavy equipment. Properties across Hancock and Waldo counties regularly present rocky ledge close to the surface, high water tables near the coast, and terrain that shifts with Maine's freeze-thaw cycles. At Mariner Property Services LLC, we handle foundation excavation, drainage trenching, grading, and land clearing for residential and small commercial properties. We serve Castine, Bucksport, Blue Hill, Orland, Bangor, Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, Surry, Searsport, Stockton Springs, Verona Island, Brooksville, Hampden, Orono, Hermon, Orrington, and Holden. Every property gets hands-on attention from someone who treats it as his own. Whether you are breaking ground on a new build, correcting a drainage problem, or clearing a lot, we read the site conditions before we move a single yard of soil. Contact us to talk through your project.

Ashton came to us at a new property with a huge meadow that was completely overrun with all sorts of things. He has done an amazing job taming it and maintaining it. He has also been really helpful with some other projects around the property. We are so glad we found him! We hope to get him involved in some landscaping and some other projects in the next few years.
