Downeast Dirtworks

"We clear it, grade it, dig it, and install it," is how Downeast Dirtworks describes itself: land clearing, site work, septic installation, driveways and snow plowing, done by Dominick D'Andrea and his crew across Washington and Hancock Counties from Hancock to Machias. The company says it has been in business 25 years. It holds a 3.7-star Google average from 6 ratings. A 2025 customer said the company cleared their land and built their driveway, and would also be doing their septic. A 2025 customer said Tammy offered recommendations on following the contours of the land and setbacks to get the best placement for their pad and road. A 2023 customer who was out of state said they contracted lot clearing over the phone and through emails and pictures, and that the before-and-after pictures and end results were on spec. A recent Google customer thanked the company for having them on the snowplowing list again. A recent Google customer called the communication poor and said the outcome of the work was poor. A 2026 HomeAdvisor customer said the work was not finished, large rocks were left in the road base, and the company owed them 400 dollars plus and refused a refund. A 2023 customer said 4 weeks became 4 months and the promised job was never done.
