Clearing, digging and demolition across Coram, the oldest settlement in central Brookhaven.
Excavation, Grading & Demolition Services in Coram
Coram is the oldest settlement in the center of Brookhaven Town. William Satterly sought permission to open a tavern for travelers here in 1677, and from 1784 to 1885 the township's government met in Coram, largely at the Davis Town Meeting House. The hamlet has since grown into one of the largest communities around: the 2020 census counted 40,220 residents and 16,060 housing units spread across nearly 14 square miles. With that much ground and that many homes, our Coram projects cover the full range of what we do, from pool and addition excavation to footings, utility trenches, shed and garage removal, and complete demolition of structures that are past repair.
Coram's main arteries are Route 112 and Middle Country Road, with Granny Road, Mill Road and the Long Island Expressway at Exit 64 nearby. Not every acre is built out; wooded parcels still turn up, and the Overton bike trails off Granny Road roll over hilly ground. When a parcel is being readied for a home or business, we handle land clearing, tree and shrub removal, rough grading and site preparation. Afterward we can regrade yards, cut swales or install underground drainage pipe so runoff from roofs and driveways has a planned route. Commercial owners along Route 112 and Route 25 rely on us for demolition, site prep and commercial snow removal.

Coram Excavation & Demolition FAQs
Can you clear a wooded parcel in Coram so we can build?
Yes. Coram still has wooded lots between its developed neighborhoods. We remove trees, shrubs, stumps and brush, take down any old structures on the property, and rough-grade the site so it is ready for a foundation. Before work begins, check with the Town of Brookhaven building department about permits and call 811 to have utilities marked.
Do you demolish entire houses, or only smaller structures?
Both. We take down sheds, garages, decks and concrete, and we also handle full structure demolition when a building is beyond repair. Afterward we remove the debris and leave the lot graded and ready for new construction. Our equipment lets us work carefully on tight sites so neighboring homes and properties stay protected.
Coram covers a lot of ground. Do you work in every part of it?
Yes. We serve all of Coram's 11727 ZIP Code, from the Route 112 corridor to the neighborhoods north of Middle Country Road, and we work throughout Suffolk and Nassau counties. Whether your property is a small residential lot or a commercial parcel, call (631) 337-8050 and we will talk through the job.
Our new addition sends roof water toward the driveway. Can you fix the drainage?
Usually, yes. We can regrade the area so water moves away from the house and driveway, cut a swale to carry it along a planned route, or install underground drainage pipe connected to the downspouts. The right approach depends on how your lot slopes, so we look at the property before recommending a plan.
I need a trench dug for a new utility line. Can you help?
Yes. Utility trenching is part of our excavation work. Before any digging, call New York 811 so existing lines are located and marked, and confirm permit requirements with the Town of Brookhaven. We then dig the trench to the depth your contractor or utility specifies, backfill once the line is in, and restore the surface.
