Cornish, Maine
Cornish is in the northwestern corner of York County, a rural, agricultural town with forested terrain, the Ossipee River, and conditions that demand a site development contractor with experience in challenging Maine environments.
We provide land clearing, site preparation, septic installation, drainage, retaining walls, and finish grading for Cornish properties. Northwestern York County terrain is some of the most varied in the county.
Cornish is farther from our Arundel base than some other York County towns, but we work in the northwest regularly and plan logistics accordingly.
