About Millie Excavating
Lackawanna-based excavation company serving Erie County since 2019. Foundations, sewer lines, drainage, demolition.
Our Mission
French drain with gravel bed and catch basin in Buffalo backyard project
Millie Excavating has served Erie County since 2019. We dig foundations, repair sewer lines, install water mains, and build drainage systems, residential and commercial.. We own our equipment (mini excavators, backhoes, skid steers), so there's no subcontractor markup and no waiting on someone else's schedule.
We're based in Lackawanna and work across all of Erie County. That means we know the heavy clay soil near the lake, the high water tables in South Buffalo and West Seneca, and the rocky ground in Orchard Park. We pull permits through Erie County DEP and local building departments daily. We know what inspectors want before they show up.
Who Runs Millie Excavating?
Matt — Owner & Operator
Matt started Millie Excavating in 2019 after years working in the excavation industry across Western New York. He's on most job sites personally, running equipment, talking to inspectors, and making sure the work is done right the first time.
When you call (716) 253-1527, you're talking to the crew that does the work. Not a call center, not a sales team. Matt handles estimates himself and can usually get to your property within a day or two.
