From Excavation to Erosion Control, We Handle the Ground Work.

With over 10 years of experience managing construction projects, Severn Excavation has built a strong track record of reliable, high-quality excavation and foundation work. As a small, veteran-owned team, we don’t cut corners or hand jobs off. We stay on the machine, in the dirt, and with the details until it’s done right.
