Burke's Excavating

Burke's Excavating is a Cape Cod-based excavation contractor run by owner-founder Walter Burke out of Sagamore, serving Cape Cod, the Islands, and Plymouth County. Burke started in construction in Maine at 18 before returning to Massachusetts to start the company, which the business says has operated on the Cape for over 30 years, handling foundation and pool excavation, septic system installation, demolition, site grading, and utility and driveway work for both homeowners and contractors. Every review on file is five stars — five reviews from 2022 through 2024, all on Google. One is from a general contractor who has hired Burke's for several recent projects and describes Walt's team as knowledgeable, responsive, and careful to keep job sites clean; another 2024 homeowner review credits the crew with handling an addition-related excavation with clear communication from start to finish. A 2022 review specifically describes a leaching field (septic) repair, praising Walt for answering and returning calls promptly and leaving the site safe and clean afterward — a specific, first-hand account that backs up the broader praise for responsiveness and site care running through the other reviews. Burke's is a solid call for Cape Cod and Plymouth County homeowners and contractors who need excavation, septic installation, demolition, or site work handled by an owner-operator with decades of local experience — get a written scope and quote for your specific project when you reach out.
