Excavation and Land Clearing · York, PA
Tight lots and narrow alleys set the limits for excavation in the city, where a mini excavator often fits where a full-size machine won't. Hauling is part of the price too. Ask what size machine the job needs, how it gets in, and where the spoil goes, since few city lots have room to pile it.
