Apex Excavating is a Massachusetts excavation and site-work contractor run by Bradley Yochum, who reviewers describe as the company's president and the person who personally quotes and oversees jobs. The work homeowners hire them for is concentrated around utility trenching and drainage: connecting houses to new town sewer systems, installing and grading drainage and elevation work, and general site grading and irrigation repairs. Across reviews spanning 2022 to early 2026, customers consistently praise the same things: Bradley and his crew showing up when promised, finishing efficiently, and leaving the property cleaner than they found it, including replanting grass and resetting driveway stones after a sewer connection job. Multiple reviewers specifically called out how he handled arranging engineering for a municipal sewer connection and returned promptly to fix a settled gate after the fact. One commercial customer also used them for suction and discharge piping work at a pump station in Woods Hole, reporting reduced pump run time and cost savings afterward. Pricing comes up as fair and competitive in more than one review, and communication is repeatedly described as prompt and professional, both for quotes and during the work itself. The one discordant note in the record is a single 2022 review that isn't about a completed job at all: a driver reported watching a company vehicle roll through stop signs, calling it a poor advertisement for safe driving, though the reviewer says they never actually hired the company. Apex Excavating looks like a solid pick for sewer hookups, drainage and grading work, and site prep on the South Coast/Cape area, with a track record of homeowners who'd use them again. Worth confirming current licensing and insurance directly given the trenching and utility-connection nature of the work.
Professional firm. Thorough, detailed and good communicators.
Apex is a 5 star company very knowledgeable & experienced.
We used Apex Excavating to connect to the new town sewer system. Apex handled everything, including arranging the engineering. Bradley, the president, did a great job explaining the project to us, which was appreciated. He and his crew came when they said they would and finished more quickly than we expected. They also did a great job putting everything back at the end, including replanting the grass and putting new stones on our driveway which, frankly, looks better now than it did before the project. I would hire Bradley again if we have a future need for his services.
Bradley did a great job connecting my house to the new town sewer pipes. His team left the site clean and neat, much better than it was before. The job involved removing and replacing a gate to the yard; when the gate settled over time, he came back and made sure everything was level again. I absolutely recommend him.
I can only base this review on the driver that I was behind today. He slow rolled though every stop sign I was behind him for. I guess he was just in a hurry to do a good job but it's not a great advertisement for a safe operation.
