New Hampton stretches from the Pemigewasset River and its I-93 interchange up into quiet wooded hills, home to the New Hampton School and a growing number of homes tucked onto rural lots. Our core job here is turning woods into homesites: lot clearing, driveway construction through the trees, foundation digs, and drainage planned before the well truck arrives.
Most New Hampton projects start with a wooded parcel and a vision, and the ground varies more than newcomers expect. Down near the Pemigewasset, river-terrace sands dig easily and drain beautifully — some of the friendliest excavation soil in the region. Climb into the hills east of the highway and it turns to hardpan till with boulders, slower digging and slower draining, where a perimeter drain around the foundation stops being optional. Full-lot development is our standard package here: cut the drive first so everything else has access, clear and grub the house site, dig the foundation, trench utilities, and rough-grade for drainage in one coordinated sequence — cheaper than piecemeal mobilizations. The I-93 interchange keeps trucking costs down, a real advantage when a job needs serious gravel. Mud season posts some town roads in March and April, so big material moves happen on firm ground, summer through freeze-up.
Developing a wooded New Hampton lot? Build the driveway to its full base depth first, before the foundation dig — not as a finishing touch. Every truck your project needs will use it for a year, and a properly built drive used as a construction road just needs a top course at the end.
