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.

Expert Septic Site Preparation in Castine, ME
Septic site preparation is the groundwork that makes every other step of a new septic project possible. At Mariner Property Services LLC, we clear, grade, and ready your land so the system can be placed exactly where the design calls for it. Properties in Castine and across Hancock County sit on thin glacial soils with bedrock often close to the surface. Coastal lots near the water carry setback requirements that push the system footprint into tighter spaces on the property. Getting the site right from the start means the excavation crew has a clean, level, accessible area to work in. We treat every property as if it were our own, so we move carefully around existing landscaping, outbuildings, and access points. Whether your lot is wooded, sloped, or waterfront, we prepare the ground so your installation can go in correctly. Call Mariner Property Services LLC to get your Castine property ready.
