Our specialty
Long Reach Excavation
A telescoping arm digs deep, narrow holes straight down: dry wells, seepage pits, deep footings and shafts, even on tight lots.
Staten Island, NY
Staten Island site development, excavation & demolition
Reliable Site Development was founded on Staten Island and we know the borough's ground: rock and hillsides up north, low-lying lots down south, and special zoning in between.
Local knowledge
Every part of the Island is different
North Shore & hillsides
Steep lots around Grymes Hill, Todt Hill and Emerson Hill often mean rock, retaining walls and careful grading. Parts of Staten Island fall in special zoning districts that limit grading and tree removal, so the site plan matters.
Mid-Island
New homes, additions and commercial sites around New Springville, Bulls Head and New Dorp, where demolition and new foundations often go hand in hand.
South Shore
Low-lying neighborhoods from Great Kills to Tottenville need good drainage and grading. Some areas drain into the Staten Island Bluebelt, so storm water plans get extra attention.
Tight lots everywhere
Narrow side yards and close neighbors are common across the Island. That's where our long reach excavator earns its keep, digging dry wells and deep footings without tearing up the whole yard.
