Driveways, Concrete & Drainage in Hollis, Maine
Hollis runs along the Saco River from Salmon Falls village to the Bar Mills bridge, then inland through pine woods to the sandy flats around Killick Pond, and the ground changes with the scenery. River-valley properties deal with heavier soils that hold spring water; the pine-flat side drains fast but shifts underfoot like OOB sand does. The same driveway design fails differently in each, which is why every Hollis project starts with us reading the ground before quoting the surface.
Driveways dominate the Hollis workload: long wooded drives off Routes 35, 117, and 202, many gravel for decades and ready for either a proper rebuild or a first paving. Our excavation and site work does the road-building half, crown, ditches, culverts where the woods send water across, soft-spot excavation, compacted base, and our asphalt services finish the drives whose owners are done with mud season. Where spring water is the whole problem, wet yards, flooded dooryards, a garage that takes on melt, we solve the water as its own project.
Concrete rounds it out: garage and workshop slabs, walks and steps, and a growing number of patios as Hollis backyards get the treatment, stamped finishes available and increasingly requested. All of it through our concrete services on the base standard that everything else here depends on.

Excavation & Site Work →Frequently Asked Questions
Our drive crosses a wet stretch that swallows gravel every spring. What fixes it?
A real crossing: excavate the saturated material, geotextile separation, drained structural base, and a culvert if water genuinely moves through. Feeding gravel to a wet hole forever is the expensive option.
Is the sandy ground near Killick Pond good or bad for building?
Good drainage, poor stability, the same trade as beach sand. Contained, compacted structural base solves it; pouring or paving directly on loose sand is what fails.
Can you pave just the hill section of a long drive?
Yes, hills are where gravel loses the fight with runoff, and paving the grade while leaving the flats gravel is a smart budget move we build often.
Do you coordinate culvert work with the town where the drive meets the road?
We handle the entrance correctly, including culvert sizing at the road ditch, and flag anything that needs a town conversation before work starts.
