Building a Better Hive, From the Ground Up.
Professional Excavating Services in the Catskills
Family-owned. 35+ years of experience. Bringing a “worker bee” work ethic to every foundation, septic system, and driveway we build.
The Foundations of the Catskills: Built by Family, Driven by Grit.
In the mountains, no two properties are the same. From the shale-heavy slopes of Greene County to the deep clay of the Delaware river valleys, excavating in this region requires more than just a machine—it requires a lifetime of local intuition. At BEE Excavating, we bring over 35 years of multi-generational expertise to every site, ensuring that the “heavy lifting” is handled with surgical precision and common-sense solutions.
We’ve built our reputation on the “worker bee” philosophy: show up early, stay late, and treat every client’s property like it’s our own backyard. As a true father-and-son team, we take immense pride in the fact that our name is on the truck and our legacy is on the line with every scoop of the bucket. Whether you are a homeowner breaking ground on a dream house or a developer needing a reliable crew for a complex demolition, we provide the steady hands and heavy-duty grit required to get the job done right the first time.
A Legacy of Hard Work, Experience & Family Values
At BEE Excavating, we don’t just move dirt—we build the foundations for our community with a grit that has been passed down through generations. Our story is one of tradition and transition. Our founder, Sr., built this business on a foundation of integrity, and today, that legacy continues as a true father-and-son team.
While we are known for our heavy machinery, our name carries a personal heartbeat. BEE represents the initials of Sr.’s granddaughter and Jr.’s daughter. When you hire us, you aren’t just hiring a contractor; you’re supporting a family business working to build a future for the third generation. We believe in honest handshakes, fair pricing, and work that stands the test of time.
Multi-Generational Grit You Can Trust.
We understand the unique challenges of mountain soil, from Catskill shale to complex drainage issues. When you call us, you’re speaking directly to the owners. There’s no corporate red tape—just a father and son who stand by their word. We combine heavy-duty power with the careful attention to detail that only comes from 35 years in the operator’s seat. As lifelong residents of Harpersfield, we are proud to serve our neighbors across Delaware, Greene, Otsego, and Schoharie counties.
From our family hive to your home or job site, thank you for trusting us to do the heavy lifting. Our "Buzz" is our bond. We’re ready to get to work for you!
