Pontes Excavating Co

Almost everything known about Pontes Excavating comes from the company itself. Its site says the business was established in 1969 in South Dartmouth and has been run by the same family for more than three generations — 57 years by its own count — doing land clearing, foundation excavations and site development for residential and commercial clients across Bristol and Plymouth Counties. No owner is named on the site, though a business directory lists Steven Pontes. The outside trail is administrative rather than descriptive. The Town of Dartmouth lists the company at 1073 Russells Mills Road, a New Bedford municipal document from June 2023 records an application from Pontes Excavating Co., LLC for permission to maintain, and directory listings repeat the same mix of work: foundation excavations, complete septic system installations, grading and land development across southeastern Massachusetts. That adds up to a coherent picture of a long-running dirt-work outfit around Dartmouth, but it rests on the company's own account of itself. If you are hiring for a foundation dig or a septic install, ask for addresses of jobs finished in the last year or two, who holds the septic installer's licence on your job, and current proof of insurance.
