Morrill Excavating

About Morrill Excavating

When a nor'easter swings up the coast and turns inland over York County, North Berwick takes it in the dark: snow driving sideways past the porch lights, Bauneg Beg Mountain swallowed by the squall. Morrill Excavating plows on through nights like that, so driveways are open before anyone heads out along Routes 4 and 9. Excavation is a trade built on weight and grade, and that sense helps when a dense snowfall has to be moved without peeling up the gravel beneath it. There's pride in a pile stacked out of the sightline, a drive edged square, a mailbox left upright. When the storm drifts out to sea, the mountain reappears, and everything at its feet is already dug out.
