At Colonial Excavating, your premier excavating and landscaping company in the Capital Region, we take pride in delivering professional, reliable and detail-driven site work. From complete site development projects to residential lot clearing, our work speaks for itself.

Let’s explore the types of excavation projects we do across Stillwater, Albany, Clifton Park, Saratoga Springs and the surrounding areas — showing how our team transforms raw land into ready-to-build properties.

Building a Strong Foundation

Every successful build starts with a solid foundation. Our site development projects encompass a range of services, including foundation excavation, trenching and water and sewer line installations.

We work with homeowners, builders and commercial contractors to ensure each site is graded, leveled and prepared with precision. Whether we’re managing the complete excavation of a new home site or coordinating large-scale commercial site prep, our focus is always on safety, accuracy and efficiency.
