Professional earthwork and environmental construction for Southern Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay region.
Excavation and Hauling in Southern Maryland
Digging, Trenching, and Site Prep Done the Right Way
Excavation sets the foundation for everything that follows. McKenzie Contracting provides professional excavation and hauling for residential and commercial properties across Southern Maryland. From trenching and earthmoving to grading preparation, we handle the heavy work with the equipment, planning, and oversight required for safe, efficient results.
Avoid Delays and Problems Later
Work Planned Before Equipment Hits the Ground
Excavation is not just about moving dirt. Before digging begins, our team evaluates the site so the excavation supports what comes next instead of creating issues later. That planning allows the work to stay efficient, minimize disruption, and deliver clean results that keep your project moving.
“I needed a plot cleared for my new shed, they came out next day and knocked it out in 3 hours! Great job and they cleaned up my driveway before they left. 100% recommended.”
