Lindsley Excavating LLC is a commercial site development and excavation contractor based in Fulton, NY, serving Syracuse, Oswego and Central New York. Our site work includes land clearing, excavation, grading, drainage, underground utilities, aggregate base, construction trucking and asphalt paving. General contractors, developers and property owners can request a complete civil site package or a defined subcontract scope.
Based in Fulton, serving Central New York. Send your project address to confirm travel, scope and crew availability.
For a new building or redevelopment, we coordinate clearing and stripping, building-pad earthwork, utility trenches, storm drainage, backfill, aggregate placement and pavement preparation. For an operating property, the scope can focus on drainage repairs, parking areas, access roads or grading. Send the civil plans and target schedule to Shawn at 315-593-8448.
A useful site proposal starts with the civil drawings and the boundary between sitework, the building contractor and specialty trades. Identify clearing limits, demolition, finished grades, utility connection points and pavement limits. We review the package for work that can be coordinated together and identify items that need a separate price or clarification.
Clearing and erosion controls lead into bulk earthwork, underground installation, backfill, subgrade preparation and pavement work. Occupied properties may need temporary access, staged deliveries or phased parking. Include these requirements with your invitation so the proposed construction sequence reflects how the property will operate.
Ask for separate prices for base work, asphalt, imported fill, exported material and restoration when those quantities are uncertain. A lump sum should identify the drawings and addenda used, the included quantities or limits, and the treatment of unsuitable soil. This gives the owner a usable scope instead of a number that changes when work starts.
Use this scope checklist to assemble a civil bid invitation. Each item is confirmed in the written proposal; listing a capability does not add it to a contract.

| Clearing and site preparation | Clearing limits, grubbing, stripping and material disposition |

Earthwork balance, utility depth, aggregate quantities, pavement area and required phases drive the package price. Comparing the same drawings and alternates helps owners distinguish a scope gap from a real saving.
| Work area | Items to include in the request | Confirm before construction |
|---|---|---|
| Clearing and earthwork | Removal limits, stripping, cut/fill and building-pad preparation | Survey, soil assumptions and approved spoil locations |
| Underground work | Utility trenches, storm drainage, bedding and backfill | Supply, connections, testing and trade interfaces |
| Roads and parking | Aggregate base, grading and asphalt within defined limits | Pavement section, traffic use and tie-ins |
| Site completion | Hauling, finish grades and agreed topsoil restoration | New concrete and landscaping separately assigned |
