Land Clearing & Site Work
Berwick, ME
Berwick is a growing residential community on the Salmon Falls River in southwestern York County. The river forms the NH/ME state line, and Ridge Cut works on both sides.
We provide land clearing, site preparation, stump grinding, drainage, retaining walls, and finish grading for Berwick properties. The Salmon Falls River divides Somersworth, NH and Berwick, ME — Ridge Cut coordinates the appropriate state's permit requirements based on project location.
Berwick's dense glacial till and elevated-parcel ledge shape clearing approach and drainage, and Ridge Cut assesses each site before starting.
