Two acres of grub-wrecked lawn, regraded by noon: that is the job one recent Google customer described after calling Leavitt Earthworks. On its Better Business Bureau page, the company describes itself as a residential and commercial excavation and site-work outfit, listing demolition, septic system installation and replacement, land clearing, and driveway and foundation excavation among its services. Its website says it has been in business 30 years. The BBB rates it A+, and on Google it holds a 3.7-star average across 15 ratings. That lawn customer said Leavitt came out that day or the next, and that the job called for about 110 yards of loam. The crew showed up at 8:00 am, the dump trucks brought the loam and the bulldozer leveled and graded, and by noon they were finished, according to the same customer. That customer said the grading left the lawn level and easier to mow, and that a follow-up visit came a week later. A recent customer who hired the company to clear out a backyard said it removed brush, debris and stubborn roots, upgraded the drainage to divert water away from the foundation, and trenched for electrical conduit. The area was then loamed and leveled and a couple of flower beds went in, and that customer said the crew left the perimeter tidy. A recent reviewer said Leavitt Earthworks transformed a smaller backyard project in one day, showed up when it said it would, and left everything clean. A 2026 reviewer wrote that rocks came off the company's dump trucks twice on the same one-mile stretch of road, once striking the reviewer's shin on a bike and once gouging the front bumper of a pickup truck. That 2026 reviewer said a claim was filed and then denied because there was no video or police call and Leavitt's denied responsibility.
“Rebecca McVety of Standish was operating a 2004 Volvo and collided with a fully loaded Leavitt Earthworks tri-axle dump truck at around 4:30 on Wednesday, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.”
“A vehicle operated by 32-year-old Rebecca McVety of Standish collided head-on with a Leavitt Earthworks dump truck that was fully loaded with dirt.”
We had an infestation of grubs and they destroyed our lawn, absolute devastation. We have two acres of lawn so we're not talking a 'little repair job' either, this was huge! I called Leavitt Earthworks and they came right out, I think it was either that day or the next, too, which is both unheard of and wonderful. The assessment was made that grubs had definitely ruined the lawn and that we were going to need A LOT of help, like 110 yards of loam kind of help. The crew showed up at 8:00 am and the magic began, the dump trucks brought the loam and the bulldozer began leveling and grading and by noon, they were finished! They made what we had feared was going to be a nightmare that lasted for days look like a 'little project', we were amazed and delighted. They are professionals who are great at their jobs, the grading they did with the bulldozer actually made our lawn better, too, level everywhere and so much easier to mow now. I would highly recommend Leavitt Earthworks, their expertise and their professionalism turned what could have been a potential nightmare into a positive experience for us. There was even a follow-up visit a week later to 'just check in and make sure everything is going well', how often does that happen?! Call today, you will, not regret it. Joni Kavouksorian
"It is rare to find a business today that operates with total honesty and integrity, but that is exactly what you get with Leavitt Earthworks. They are amazing, down-to-earth folks who care about their customers and do top-tier work. If you want an excavation company you can actually trust, look no further."
I would highly recommend Leavitt Earthworks for your yard "renovations." We recently hired the team to clear out our backyard, remove brush and big stubborn roots, and bring in fresh loam. The heavy lifting—removing unwanted brush, debris, and stubborn roots—was handled with precision. Leavitt's upgraded the drainage to divert water away from the foundation, and also took care of trenching for the placement of electrical conduit. Afterwards the entire area was loamed and leveled and a little extra care was taken to put in a couple of flower beds. Overall, the crew were professional and very attentive, they navigated the complexities of yard work—where unexpected rocks or drainage issues often pop up—without cutting corners. They respected property lines and existing structures, leaving the perimeter tidy. I am so grateful for the wonderful job Leavitt Earthworks did.
Leavitt Earthworks transformed my backyard in just one day—they truly exceeded my expectations. It looks absolutely amazing! They were professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Even though our project was on the smaller side, they treated it with care and attention to detail. The team showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and in great shape. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a team you can trust.
THIS COMPANY IS RECKLESS AND THEIR DUMP TRUCK DRIVERS ARE CARELESS! TWO INSTANCES HAVE OCCURED ON THE SAME 1 MILE STRETCH OF ROAD ON OSSIPPEE TRAIL WHERE A ROCK HAD CAME FLYING OFF THEIR DUMP TRUCK AND FIRST TIME I WAS ON A BIKE AND IT STRUCK MY SHIN. DECIDED TO LET IT SLIDE AS I WAS IN A RUSH.. SECOND TIME A LARGER ROCK CAME OFF DUMP TRUCK AT 11:07 AM 3/16/2026 AND STRUCK MY 50,000$ PICKUP TRUCK. LEAVING A HUGE GOUGE ON MY FRONT BUMPER AND LUCKILY DIDNT COME THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.. I CALLED THEM AND THEY FILED A CLAIM BUT SAID BECAUSE I DIDNT GET IT ON VIDEO OR CALL THE POLICE AND LEAVITTS DENIED RESPONSIBILITY THAT THEY HAD TO DENY THE CLAIM.. SO I GEUSS I HAVE TO BUY A 500$ DASH CAM AND PAY FOR MY FRONT BUMPER BECAUSE THIS COMPANY THINKS THEY CAN BE RECKLESS AND NOT CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY. I WILL BE SPREADING THE WORD AND WILL NOT STOP PERSUING JUSTICE WITH THE HOPE THAT MY TRUCK GETS FIXED AND THAT THEY PUT COMMUNITIES SAFETY ON THEIR PRIORITY LIST..
