About the company
Good projects start at the bottom.
When you call Blue Collar Excavation, you talk to Cody Mayo directly.
Cody runs the company from Wayne County, New York, and handles your project from the first phone call. Cody will walk the property with you, explain what the work involves, and give you a straight estimate before anything gets dug.
Most problems on a finished job trace back to the dirt work: a pad that wasn't compacted, a driveway with no base, water with nowhere to go. That's the part we care about most, because everything else gets built on top of it.
- Site first
Read the ground
Soil, slope, water and access decide how a job should be done. We look at all four before giving you a plan.
- Clear terms
Straight answers
You'll know what's included, what could change, and when we'll be there. If something comes up, you hear it from us first.
- Done right
Ready for the next trade
Correct grades, compacted fill and a clean site, so your builder, concrete crew or landscaper can start without fixing our work.
