Forrest Excavation is a family-owned and operated business in Mt Vernon serving Belgrade and Augusta as well. Its website describes excavation, lot clearing, shoreline work, drainage, septic systems, basement waterproofing, and athletic-field installation. It says the business has operated for over 20 years; Angi and HomeAdvisor each list 31 years of experience, so the reported timelines differ. The written customer accounts date from 2020 through 2023, while Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 25 reviews and a 5.0 rating. In 2023, one homeowner praised a multi-area project involving excavation, grading, drainage, and septic installation; in 2021, another described stump removal, grading, and a working drain. A 2020 customer described gravel-driveway repairs, land clearing, and a barn pad. These are dated examples rather than evidence of current scheduling or availability. For excavation, drainage, site preparation, and septic work, ask for a recent local reference and a written scope before booking. Confirm that the proposed work matches the terrain and drainage needs of your property.
