In August 2026 a Google reviewer called up Ray's Excavation & Landscaping and spoke with Roland, who came out within a few days to look at their driveway, gave a quote, and was back with his son Corey a few days later to start the work. Ray's Excavation & Landscaping is based on True Rd in Mercer, Maine. Its website says it offers excavation for new construction, land clearing and residential excavation in Central Maine, lists a service area that includes Norridgewock, Smithfield, Rome, Oakland, New Sharon, Farmington, Madison and Skowhegan, and says it has been in business five years, is insured and gives free estimates. Google shows 5 stars from 9 ratings. In May 2026 a customer had their driveway widened and run up by the side of the garage. They wrote that they reached out to three companies and the owner was the only one who got back to them, within an hour, then came out within a day for an estimate; on the day, they showed up on time and were very careful of the rest of the property and the existing driveway. A September 2025 reviewer thanked them for the help on a 1200-foot driveway. In a June 2024 review, a customer who wanted a gravel driveway on newly bought land wrote that Roland Ray met them at the property, let them stake out where the driveway should go, finished the job in less than two days, and did several extras without raising the cost. An April 2024 reviewer described an overgrown section of woods cleaned up of small trees, blow downs and brush, started when he said and finished in the quoted time.
Found this company on Facebook and so glad I did. Called up and spoke with Roland. He was personable, friendly, and came out within a few days to review our driveway and work that needed to be completed. He provided us with a quote and we said let’s do it. He was out with his son Corey a few days later to start the work. Great finished product. Would highly recommend if you are looking to have quality work at a good price. I will definitely keep Roland in mind for future needs and referrals.
Had our driveway widened and run up by the side of the garage today. Have to say, I'd recommend Ray's Excavation & Landscaping any day!! The owner is very nice and very professional. Great to work with! We reached out to 3 companies and he was the only one that got back to us, not only the same day but within an hour. Then came out within a day to give us an estimate and kept in contact, keeping us posted on when they would be out to do it! AND unlike most, showed up on time this morning! While working, they are very careful of the rest of the property and existing driveway and work neatly. I'm very impressed!! Thanks again to Ray's Excavation!! Turned out fantastic, could not be more pleased!!
Expert work, kind consultation, great communication and overall a great team to work with. Thanks so much for the help on my 1200’ driveway, you went above and beyond and it shows. I’ll happily contact you for the next project.
Knowledgeable, always on time, best pricing
I fortunately stumbled on Ray’s Excavation on Facebook when I was looking for some to put a gravel driveway into a piece of land I recently purchased. I reached out to Ray’s and Roland Ray came to meet me at my property to give me an estimate. I was very impressed with Roland’s knowledge and his professionalism. Roland gave me solid recommendations on what we should do for the driveway. Roland was able to start my job within a day of me contracting with him. Roland again walked my property before starting the job and allowed me to stake out where I wanted the driveway so that he fully understood what I was expecting. Roland had the job done in less than 2 days and he did an excellent job. He did several extras for me without increasing the cost and he did an excellent job. I am thoroughly impressed with the work Roland did and I would highly recommend Ray’s Excavation.
