McGovern Earthworks is a full-service excavation and site development contractor in Southern Maine, serving communities from Scarborough to Bath and surrounding areas. Experienced in a variety of job site projects large and small, we bring experience, skill and successful delivery to each assignment. Whether you're preparing land for a new build or solving drainage challenges on an existing property, you're working with someone who's successfully worked through challenges and consistently delivers quality results on time.

When you hire an owner-operated business, you get direct and consistent involvement from the owner from start to finish. From start to finish you will have direct contact, continuous and consistent management of your timeline, on site presence, and professional coordination with others involved in the project. I will be there for each phase, and every step, until your job is completed to your satisfaction.

McGovern Earthworks handles excavation, demolition, septic systems, site prep, and drainage solutions for both residential and commercial clients. Every project is approached with the same level of care and quality. All calls are returned timely. Experienced advice. Free quotes. Let me help you on your next project.

 If you're ready to move forward with your next project, reach out to McGovern Earthworks and let’s begin planning.

How the Work Unfolds

You'll start with a site visit where your goals, constraints, and timeline are discussed openly. From there, you'll receive a detailed quote that reflects the scope of the work and what each phase will involve. Once you approve, the schedule is set and upheld with reliable coordination from beginning to final grade.

Because the same operator oversees every step, you won't encounter mixed messages or shifting expectations. Equipment moves according to plan, adjustments are communicated promptly, and each milestone is completed before the next begins.



This approach applies across a range of situations:

Excavation for residential foundations, driveways, and accessory structures shaped to match architectural plans

Septic system installation coordinated with engineering specs and local codes

Demolition work that clears the way for redevelopment without damaging adjacent structures

Drainage systems designed to redirect runoff and prevent erosion across properties in Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport, and beyond

For a clear understanding of how your site can be developed, contact McGovern Earthworks serving Southern Maine.
