Lindsley Excavating LLC is an excavation contractor based in Fulton, NY, serving Oswego, Syracuse and Central New York. We handle building-pad excavation, cut and fill, foundation excavation, trenching, backfill, subgrade preparation and finish grading for commercial, residential, municipal and agricultural projects.
Based in Fulton, serving Central New York. Send your project address to confirm travel, scope and crew availability.
Our equipment includes excavators, dozers, loaders, skid steers and rollers, supported by dump trucks and lowboy equipment transport. Excavation can be coordinated with material import, spoil export, aggregate placement and compaction. Equipment selection, quantities and haul destinations are confirmed for the individual site.
Existing and proposed contours help define cut, fill and haul quantities. Topsoil stripping, unsuitable material, imported structural fill and rock should be identified separately. If there is no survey or soil report, describe what is known and ask for a site review before treating a preliminary allowance as a fixed quantity.
Fill type, lift thickness and acceptance testing should follow the project specifications and the geotechnical recommendations. Share the required testing responsibilities before pricing. A visibly firm surface alone does not establish compliance with a specified density or bearing requirement.
The finished surface must work with doors, pavement, drainage structures and surrounding property. Send spot elevations and outlet information when available. For property corrections, photos during and after rain help show where water collects and which areas need a closer review.
Excavation volume alone does not set the price. Soil suitability, rock, groundwater, haul distance and the ability to reuse material determine how much equipment time and imported fill the work needs.

For your estimate
Send the available CAD or grading model and the required survey control. Model preparation, layout and machine-control support should be confirmed as specific proposal items.
No. Material type, quantity, delivery and placement are listed in the estimate. Unknown soil conditions or changed grades can affect both excavation and fill quantities.
Central New York and regional project inquiries are reviewed for scope, travel and scheduling. These are service areas; our business address is in Fulton, and this is not a separate branch office.
Send the location, drawings, scope and target dates to Shawn. Call Monday–Friday, 7 a.m.–5 p.m. Pricing and availability are confirmed after project review.
