Excavation is the core of what we do. Since 2010, Roberts Excavation has dug basements, pool sites, driveways, and foundations across Plainfield and the surrounding Eastern Connecticut towns — more than 500 projects on soils that range from sandy loam to solid ledge.
Every job starts with DJ walking the site with you, marking utilities through CBYD 811, and giving you a free, straightforward estimate. You deal with the owner from the first phone call to the final grade.

Lot clearing for house sites, driveways, septic systems, and pastures, covering trees, stumps, brush, and grubbing in one pass. You end up with a buildable, rough-graded site instead of a mess to deal with later.

We cut, box out, and build the base for gravel and paved driveways that survive Connecticut winters. Drainage and compaction come standard, because that's what keeps a driveway flat.

Footing and foundation digs held to the elevations on your plan, for houses, garages, and additions. We dig it right the first time so the forms go up without rework.
