Great to work with very responsible safe and friendly
We were lucky enough to win a load of driveway stone from Lakeshore Excavation at a basket raffle and could not be happier! Seth and his crew were wonderful to work with from start to finish. Delivery was smooth, communication was great, and the stone was exactly what we needed.
Lakeshore is a very professional company, I highly recommend
Highly recommend! Seth and his crew cleared our land for a driveway and put down a stone pad for a shed. They were quick, efficient, and did an amazing job. We're so happy with the results and appreciate all their hard work! Thank you again!
they came when they said they were going to, and did a great job! my arena is all set for sand and round pen panels! they also filled in an old trench! looks GREAT!
I needed allot of repairs around a property I purchased. They were able to replace my septic, fix my drive way, and complete other projects for a reasonable price and in a timely manor.
You need something professionally moved, property fixed like it was never there and a good looking operator then this is your company! Definitely a satisfied customer 🍍
Best around
Having the opportunity to use these guys was one of the best decisions I've made. After contacting Seth, his professionalism and thorough detail really helped me on my final decision. His crew was very professional and personable. They do amazing work. I will be using them again and again.
Very professional company highly recommend
After calling multiple companies lakeshore was the only one to show up and give me a quote. Seth and his team did an amazing job regrading my lawn and installing my driveway

A septic system is excavation with a rulebook: a stamped design, a county permit, an inspection before backfill and — near Lake George — the Park Commission. We handle the digging and the coordination so you're not the go-between.
Septic first, then everything else an excavator does — six services that cover almost every dig in Washington County, from a new home site to the last patch of driveway gravel.
01 / Feature
New systems, full replacements, leach field repairs, tanks and lines — permitted through the county and inspected before backfill.

Excavation work is only as good as the people running the machine. Lakeshore is owner-operated — you talk to the same person who quotes the job, walks the site and runs the dig. Honest pricing, clean job sites, and the kind of communication that's gotten rare in the trades.
Quotes are free, scheduling is honest, and the site is left clean. Here's exactly what to expect.
Tell us the project, the lot, the rough timeline. Texts and photos welcome.
We meet you at the property, walk it, and follow up with a clear written number.
Right-sized equipment, communication daily, the site kept clean as we go.
Final grade, cleanup, and a walk-through together. Done means done.
