Demolition, digging and grading for Smithtown's established neighborhoods and its growing Main Street business district.
Excavation, Grading & Demolition Services in Smithtown
Smithtown is the town's namesake hamlet and one of its main business centers, with Main Street (Route 25) running through the downtown and Route 347, Route 111 and Jericho Turnpike carrying traffic past shopping centers and offices. A lot of the work here is redevelopment: tearing down an outdated building, clearing the site and preparing it for something new. We handle demolition of houses, garages and commercial structures, haul the debris away and grade the lot for new construction. The Town of Smithtown and Suffolk County have been working to bring sewers to the Main Street business district, which could open the door to more rebuilding downtown, and our crews are ready to support builders preparing those sites.
Residential Smithtown counted close to 9,000 housing units in the 2000 census, many of them on established streets where yards have settled and grown in over the decades. Homeowners call us for excavation for additions, garages and pools, for grading that steers water away from foundations, and for tree and shrub removal where yards have filled in. The Nissequogue River runs through the area, and properties near it and near the ponds of Blydenburgh and Caleb Smith parks can see wetter soil, so we look at drainage before we dig. Once the grade is right, we finish with sod or seed. In winter, businesses along Main Street and the 347 corridor can also count on us for commercial snow removal.

Smithtown Excavation & Demolition FAQs
Can you demolish a house or commercial building in Smithtown?
Yes. We demolish houses, garages, sheds and other structures, remove the debris and leave the site graded and ready for the next build. On Main Street and other busy roads, we plan the work to keep sidewalks and neighboring businesses as undisturbed as possible. Check with the Town of Smithtown building department about demolition permits, and arrange utility shutoffs before work starts.
How do the downtown sewer plans affect site work on Main Street?
Sewer connections planned for the Main Street business district may change what owners can build and how a site needs to be prepared. If you are planning a teardown or new construction downtown, ask the Town of Smithtown about the sewer timeline and connection requirements for your parcel. We can then handle the demolition, excavation and grading once the plan is set.
My Smithtown property is near the Nissequogue River. Does that change the job?
It can. Land near the river and nearby ponds often has wetter soil and stricter rules on what can be disturbed. We pay close attention to drainage and keep equipment and spoil piles away from sensitive areas. Before grading or clearing near water, ask the Town of Smithtown whether wetland or waterfront permits are required, and call New York 811 before digging.
Do you dig for additions and pools in Smithtown neighborhoods?
Yes. Excavation for additions, foundations, garages and pools is everyday work for us. In established Smithtown neighborhoods, yards are often bordered by mature trees, fences and neighbors close by, so we plan equipment access carefully, protect the surrounding property and clean up as we go. Grading and sod or seed can finish the area afterward.
Do you offer snow removal for Smithtown businesses?
We provide commercial snow removal for parking lots and properties, including businesses along Main Street, Route 347 and Jericho Turnpike. Keeping a lot open during a storm protects customers and staff. Call (631) 337-8050 to discuss your property's size, layout and the service schedule that makes sense for your business.
