Earthwork
Earthwork is an essential part of any construction project, whether residential or commercial. It ensures that your structures are durable, stable, and able to withstand large-scale infrastructure. Know that when you hire us at Upper Valley Contracting, you will receive high quality and efficient services for your earthwork needs.
What is Earthwork?
Earthwork is the moving, digging, shaping, and stabilizing of the earth to prepare a site for construction. Problems like shifting or loose dirt, unstable foundations, or large stones can all cause problems in construction. Instability can be detrimental to a construction project, leading to unstable buildings, cracked foundations, and expensive repairs.
Whether you are installing a new road, establishing solid groundwork, or laying a pipeline, our earthwork services will ensure that your site will be prepared to endure and support your construction.

Our Professional Services
We offer a variety of earthwork services at Upper Valley Contracting knowing that each project is different and requires specialized care and attention. Our abilities include:
- Road Construction & Maintenance
Roads and highways are a vital part of our everyday life. We can provide earthmoving for new road construction as well as maintenance projects to ensure long-lasting durability and safety.
- Retaining Walls & Erosion Control
Weather and erosion can cause safety hazards and poor structural integrity. We construct stable and secure retaining walls to prevent erosion and landslides.
- Stabilization & Soil Compaction
Loose and unstable soil can be problematic during construction. Our compaction and soil stabilization services help with reducing settling, improving strength, and increasing weight-bearing abilities.
- Leveling & Grading
To create a smooth and even surface, our equipment can provide the proper drainage and stability through leveling and grading.
- Excavation & Site Preparation
Having the proper site preparation before construction is essential for full customization and long-lasting results. Our experience with excavation ensures that you get the best results, including vegetation clearing, foundation establishment, and trench digging.
