L A Allen Groundwork describes itself on its website as a family-owned excavation company in Central Maine, working for residential and commercial customers in the Winthrop, Belgrade, China and Tacoma Lakes regions. Its BBB grade is A+. One customer hired Larry Allen for a second year in a row to grade and pack a dirt road, and wrote that after the first year the road held up better than in any of the 20 years they had lived there. That customer said he walked the road with them, followed instructions and offered suggestions. A customer in Gardiner hired Larry to remove concrete and asphalt debris and to level and seed the yard, and said he worked around a short window set by a fence installation. A recent customer wrote that their driveway was completely transformed. A 2026 customer said Larry and his dad completed a septic replacement in a timely manner, and that the system had worked with no issues since. A 2024 customer wrote that they now had a real driveway instead of a mud roller coaster. A 2023 customer said they got good value on a driveway regrade.
Larry did an amazing job! Very honest, excellent communication. Our driveway was completely transformed. I would highly recommend his services.
I hired Larry to remove concrete and asphalt debris as well as level and seed my yard in Gardiner. Larry was incredibly professional, communicative and beyond helpful. It's important to note that I had a short window on when this could happen as I was also having a fence installed, Larry worked around that schedule as well. I highly recommend LA Allen Groundwork!
This is the 2nd year in a row that we’ve hired Larry Allen to grade and pack our dirt road. Last year, our road association’s 1st year working with Larry, our road held up better than any previous year and I’ve lived here 20 years. He took the time to walk the road with me and followed instructions, provided suggestions, he knows his stuff. This year the road looks wonderful. We had specific issues to address and again Larry did just what we wanted. He is easy to reach, easy to deal with and easy going. My husband and I are working with him now to possibly redo our driveway. If you need road work, excavation, etc., I suggest you give Larry a call.
Responsive and professional.
We had the best experience working with Larry for our septic replacement. He was skilled, knowledgeable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. But above all, he is a truly good person. Hiring someone to complete work on your home is a huge investment and takes trust, and knowing we had someone who was always making the right decision, doing the hard work, and always had our best interests at heart was worth its weight in gold. Larry and his dad went above and beyond to complete or septic replacement in a timely manner, and any issues were always dealt with professionally, timely, and with a good-natured sense of humor. Our system has worked flawlessly since and we have had absolutely no issues. I can’t recommend them highly enough and if you are in the market for any kind of groundwork, look no further. These are the people you want.
