Common Questions

As a licensed residential builder, how does Mattila Companies handle complex projects differently than a standard excavation company?

Our residential builder's license allows us to manage and coordinate all trades involved in a project, from the initial excavation and utilities through to the final masonry and landscaping. For a complex job like adding an outdoor kitchen or building a retaining wall system, we can oversee the entire process—ensuring proper drainage, structural concrete work, and seamless integration with other elements. This saves you the hassle of hiring and coordinating multiple separate contractors and provides a single point of accountability for the whole project.

My yard in Buffalo has areas of standing water after heavy rains. What solutions can you provide?

Standing water is a common issue in our area due to soil composition and grading. We address this by first assessing your property's drainage patterns. Our solutions typically involve strategic regrading and earthmoving to create positive slope away from your home and towards appropriate drainage areas. We can also install subsurface drainage systems, like French drains, and incorporate dry creek beds or swales into the landscape design. The goal is to redirect water effectively while enhancing the usability and beauty of your yard.

Can you handle both the excavation and the final hardscaping for a project like a new patio?

Absolutely. This integrated approach is a specialty of ours. We start with proper site preparation and excavation, ensuring a stable, well-compacted base—which is critical for the longevity of any hardscape. Then, our masonry and concrete team handles the installation of the patio surface, whether it's pavers, stamped concrete, or another material. By managing both phases, we guarantee the foundational work supports the finished product, preventing future issues like settling or cracking. We also handle related services like sealing to protect your investment.
