Milestone Excavating & Landscaping

A September 2025 review puts the work in plain numbers: two moderate-size excavators, two bobcats, and a 250-foot trench cut through a wooded area to hook an Acton house up to town sewer — six hard-working days in late August. Another review from the same week credits Mark and his son, also Mark, and their crew with turning up on time and keeping material deliveries and subcontractors in step; that six-day job, the customer wrote, was not easy but came in on time and within budget.

Milestone Excavating & Landscaping works out of Shirley and says it has been family-owned since 1989 — 37 years by its own count, incorporated as an LLC in 2006, with Mark S Mitrano listed as the owner. Alongside site excavation on residential and commercial jobs it lists drainage, septic and sewer, landscape construction, masonry hardscape and winter services. Its Better Business Bureau page carries an A+ grade and records a licence, HE-126911, from the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety and Inspections. For a sewer tie-in, a septic job or site work on a wooded lot, ask what the price covers if ledge or wet ground turns up, who pulls the town permits, and how the yard gets put back once the machines leave.
