What We Do
NorthPoint's excavation services cover the full range of digging, trenching, grading, and earthmoving work needed on residential, commercial, and municipal projects across New Hampshire. Every job is supported by our modern fleet of Kubota and CAT excavators and a crew with real knowledge of NH's terrain and seasonal conditions.
Excavating and preparing foundations for new homes, additions, garages, and commercial buildings across New Hampshire — from initial topsoil stripping through finish grading, ready for footings and forms.
Excavating for new septic tank installations, leach field preparation, and failed system replacements across NH's rural residential lots — working with septic designers to deliver precise trenches on schedule.
Precision trenching for water lines, electrical conduit, gas lines, cable, and drainage systems across residential, rural, and commercial sites throughout New Hampshire.
Full site preparation for new construction — topsoil clearing, rough grading, cut and fill, and creating a stable base for foundations, driveways, and parking areas from first dig through finish grade.
Grading, regrading, and resurfacing gravel and dirt driveways across NH. NorthPoint corrects rutting, drainage problems, and surface deterioration on NH's variable soils.
Designing and installing surface and subsurface drainage solutions for properties with standing water, wet basements, flooded yards, and erosion problems. NorthPoint installs French drains, perimeter drains, culverts, swales, and dry wells across NH residential and commercial properties.
Excavation-based land clearing — removing stumps, rocks, and root masses that brush hogging alone cannot address. NorthPoint's excavators pull stumps, break up ledge, and move large rocks to prepare land for construction, landscaping, and agricultural use across NH.
Low-impact excavation on NH lakefront and waterfront properties using rubber-tracked equipment to minimize erosion and protect shoreline integrity. NorthPoint's team is experienced with NHDES permit requirements on Lake Winnipesaukee, Squam Lake, Newfound Lake, and other NH water bodies.
The Excavation Fleet
NorthPoint's excavation fleet spans compact mini excavators for tight residential sites to full-size machines for commercial and municipal work. The right machine is selected based on your project scope, site access, dig depth, and ground conditions. All machines are also available for rental if you prefer to operate the equipment yourself.

Match the Machine to the Job
NH's terrain varies dramatically — from sandy lakefront soils to granite ledge, rocky hillsides, and soft wetland ground. Matching the right excavator size to your project scope and site conditions is critical for efficiency and safety.
| Project / Task | Recommended Machine | Why It Fits NH Conditions |
