Looking for ways to save $$$ on your next excavation project? Here are a few tips to get the most value without breaking the bank!

• Hire a local contractor to save on equipment mobilization/fuel costs
• Be specific about what you are looking to have done
• Hire a professional that will do it right the first time, Doing it right the second time will always cost more
• Avoid major changes in the middle of a project
• Buy in bulk, try to do as much as you can afford in one phase, save on repeat equipment mobilization costs
• Licensed & Insured for the services you are looking for, helps protect your property and your investment.
• Hire Schutte Excavation for your next project 😎

We replaced the field lines on this older septic system due to some obvious signs of failure. After we made sure the existing concrete tank was suitable for use, we got to work excavating the new field lines. 280’ of arc chambers installed, inspected, and backfilled without any interruption of service for the customer!

Give us a call for any septic system replacements or new installations!

Schutte Excavation has moved! That’s right, we’ve relocated from Central Maine down to East Tennessee! We have felt a calling to this area since our 2023 winter roadtrip. After much discussion and prayer, we decided now was the time for our next adventure. It has been an undertaking hauling all of our equipment, tools, and attachments down here but it truly has been worth all the effort. We hit the ground running and teamed up with a local contractor to further our knowledge and experience working with this red dirt.

I want to say THANK YOU to all of our Maine clients that we worked with over the past 4 years. From firewood sales, to hazardous tree removal, and excavation projects all over, it has been a great opportunity to grow a small side business into a full time endeavor. I especially appreciate all of the repeat clients that trusted Schutte Excavation with their outdoor projects over the years.

We are excited for what 2026 has in store for us while we get our business back up and running. We also have some new services that we will be announcing soon!
