Excavation along Sprague's Shetucket River villages

Sprague's developed core in Baltic sits right on the Shetucket, so floodplain limits, dam-influenced water levels, and old mill-era fill define a lot of the in-village work — careful, compact excavation around aging infrastructure and tight lots. The Shetucket's regulatory footprint is significant here, and we coordinate with the town and DEEP before any work near the river or its buffers.
Beyond the villages, Sprague turns rural quickly, with wooded lots on glacial till that need full septic-and-well packages and proper driveway drainage. Ledge is common on the higher ground, so we test-pit before quoting foundations and septic. Permitting for septic in this part of New London County runs through Uncas Health District, which we work with routinely.
