Excavation & Site Preparation
House lots, foundation pads, grading, and land clearing. Site prep done right means everything that follows is easier — and lasts longer.
Professional excavation, drainage, hardscaping, lawn maintenance, and snow plowing for residential and commercial properties across Central and Coastal Maine. Free assessments. Honest pricing. Fully insured.
Since 2010, Lowe & Basset has grown from a small lawn mowing service into a trusted full-service excavation, landscaping, and property maintenance company serving Waldo, Kennebec, and the surrounding counties of Central and Coastal Maine. Founded by Markus Lowe, the company was built on dependable workmanship, honest pricing, and a commitment to treating every property with care. Today, Lowe & Basset delivers year-round residential and commercial services — excavation, earthwork, drainage solutions, land clearing, hardscaping, lawn maintenance, snow plowing, sanding, and seasonal property care. Our goal is the same as the day we started: keep your property safe, functional, and looking its best in every season. We are trained and certified installers of Eljen Geotextile Sand Filter (GSF) septic systems, and certified in shoreline stabilization practices and permitting.

"Markus and the crew dug a new septic system and did a beautiful job on the cleanup. Worked around the well, the trees, and our schedule. Final price matched the quote to the dollar."Mike R.Belfast, ME
"We had drainage problems for years — every spring the side yard turned into a swamp. Lowe & Basset put in a French drain and re-graded. First spring we've had a dry yard in a decade."Sarah & TomAugusta, ME
"Plowing contract is the best money we spend all winter. They show up before we know we need them. Sanded the steep section without asking. Worth every penny."Karen H.Liberty, ME
"Hired them for a retaining wall and lawn installation. Honest pricing, no surprises, and the finish work is the kind you stop and look at. Already booked them for the back yard next spring."Greg P.Skowhegan, ME
