Pontes Excavating Co

Pontes Excavating is a family-run excavation contractor in South Dartmouth, serving Bristol and Plymouth Counties. The company says it was established in 1969 and has been run by the same family for more than three generations — 57 years by its own count. Its work, by its own description, covers foundation excavation, septic systems, grading, land development and land clearing for residential and commercial clients. A 2023 New Bedford municipal filing shows the company applying for a permit, consistent with active excavation work in the region. There isn't much written from customers to check independently yet, so it's worth asking for references directly given the scale of foundation and septic work. For excavation, foundation and septic work in the South Coast area, this is a long-established, family-run operation worth a direct conversation about a specific project and recent references.
