Excavation & Mountain Infrastructure

Excavation has been at the core of Fall Line Construction’s expertise since our founding. We have delivered projects across New Hampshire, Maine, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic, supporting ski resorts, developers, municipalities, and private landowners. From ski lift foundations to snowmaking pipe trenching, and from slope stabilization to road and utility excavation, we specialize in the no-nonsense execution of complex, high-stakes projects.

Our capabilities span the full range of site and civil excavation services. Whether it’s clearing and grading a new ski trail, blasting ledge for utility corridors, or building access roads on rugged mountain terrain, we bring the right equipment and experience to get it done safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Fall Line Construction has completed projects of every scale—from small culvert replacements and subdivisions to multi-million-dollar ski resort expansions. No matter the size or complexity, we deliver results that last.
