Benefits of Professional Septic & Excavation Services in Vermont

If you own property in Vermont or upstate New York, having reliable septic and excavation services isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Whether you're building a new home, updating an older system, or dealing with land that needs proper drainage and clearing, professional services save you time, money, and major headaches.

At John trombley construction, we’ve been serving the local community with high-quality septic and sitework services since 1976. With nearly five decades of experience and three generations of expertise, we understand the unique challenges that come with Vermont’s varied terrain, changing weather, and state environmental codes. Our work spans from Castleton and Middlebury to Lake George and Salem, NY—ensuring homes, businesses, and landowners get the help they need from a contractor they can trust.

Why Septic System Services Matter More Than You Think

A failing or outdated septic system can lead to backups, foul smells, and even groundwater contamination. That’s why our septic services include complete system design, professional installation, and regular pumping to extend the life of your system. We also handle septic tank replacements and offer state-approved septic sand, which is essential for safe, efficient filtration and compliance with Vermont’s regulations.

We go beyond basic installs. We design systems that are site-specific—accounting for soil conditions, elevation, and water table depth. Our proactive approach helps avoid costly future issues and ensures your system runs efficiently through every season.

Excavation & Land Development Done Right

Excavation isn’t just digging—it’s foundational work that affects every phase of your property development. Whether you’re planning to build, install utilities, or improve drainage, proper excavation protects your investment. We provide full-service site prep including lot clearing, tree and stump removal, grading, ditching, and demolition. Want to add a pond or create better drainage on your land? We’ve got you covered with experienced operators and top-notch equipment.

We make sure your land is properly shaped and drained, so water moves away from your foundation and doesn’t pool in your yard or driveway. And with harsh Vermont winters and muddy springs, proper drainage and grading are essential for long-term stability.

Construction & Landscaping Solutions That Last

In addition to sitework, John trombley construction also offers practical construction services like retaining walls, roofs, and home additions. Retaining walls can protect slopes, prevent erosion, and add usable yard space. Roof work ensures your home stays dry and structurally sound. And additions? We help you expand your home smartly and seamlessly.

Our landscaping and material delivery services are just as comprehensive. Whether you need screened gravel for a driveway, topsoil for planting, crushed slate for aesthetics, or basic fill and sand for leveling, we deliver exactly what your property needs. Serving everything from small homes to large commercial properties, we bring in the materials and experience to get the job done.
