Amherst Excavating says it has been in business for 12 years. Its website lists a service area of Amherst, Belchertown, Hadley, South Hadley, Northampton and Ludlow. A recent customer had an old septic system replaced, a job with quite a bit of digging; that customer said they showed up when they said they would, installed the new septic system and took care of the cleanup afterward. Another recent customer had an ADU put in at a Belchertown property and said Amherst Excavating handled the site work: digging for the foundation, the concrete work for the ADU and a new front walkway, a new driveway, and new sewer and water lines, then topsoil and hydroseeding. A recent customer who interviewed several local excavation companies before hiring this one said Tyler completed a big job in a matter of a few weeks, which that customer called unexpected given the scope of the project. A 2025 customer said a chunk of land was removed to fill in a driveway with a stone wall and walkway/stairs, and that Tyler also helped with lawn mowing. A 2024 customer said they had done multiple jobs for that customer.
We had an old septic system that needed to be replaced, and these guys handled the whole project for us. There was quite a bit of digging and work involved, but everything went smoothly. They showed up when they said they would, got the new septic system installed, and took care of the cleanup afterward. We’re very happy with how everything turned out and would use them again without hesitation.
We had an ADU put in at our property in Belchertown. Amherst Excavating did a great job handling all of the site work. They dug for the foundation, did all the concrete work for the ADU and the new front walkway, installed a new driveway, and put in the new sewer and water lines. They also added topsoil throughout the property and hydroseeded everything. The whole job was done professionally and our home was left looking great. We’re very happy with the work and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable excavating company.
After interviewing several local excavation companies we decided to hire Amherst Excavating. Glad we did, very professional and responsive. Tyler worked diligently and efficiently to complete a big job in a matter of a few weeks which was unexpected given the scope of the project. Completely exceeded our expectations. Happy to support a local Amherst business and will definitely work with Amherst excavating as more projects come up.
Amherst excavating did an amazing job at our home. Tyler was very professional in the way he handled every detail of the project. We had a chunk on land removed to fill in a driveway with a stone wall, walkway/stairs. He also helped us with lawn mowing. I would not hesitate to contact him for any of our future needs.
I highly recommend these guys they have done multiple jobs for me and will definitely be using them again!
