## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Sewer line connections — repeatedly praised for town sewer hookups
- Drainage and grading — reviewers cite thorough elevation and drainage work
- Owner involvement — Bradley Yochum personally quotes and oversees jobs
- Fair pricing — reviewers called pricing competitive and fair
- Clean site work — crews restore landscaping after utility work

**Concerns:**
- Driver conduct — one reviewer flagged unsafe driving by a company vehicle

**Where sources disagree:**
- Single-source read — only Google returned reviews; BBB, Yelp, Houzz, Thumbtack, Angi, HomeAdvisor and Porch all returned no data, and the site's own website adapter found nothing extractable
