Scarborough has been one of the fastest-growing towns in southern Maine for over a decade, and the construction activity reflects it. New residential subdivisions push outward along Payne Road, Gorham Road, and the Broadturn Road corridor, while the Route 1 strip from Dunstan Corner to the South Portland line sees continuous commercial development. Dunstan Corner itself is a case study in suburban-commercial excavation: pad sites, utility extensions, stormwater ponds, and parking lots for the retail and restaurant businesses that serve Scarborough's expanding population.

The town straddles the York-Cumberland County line, which gives it a foot in both worlds. Southern Scarborough, including the Pine Point and Prouts Neck areas, has coastal soil conditions — sand and marine clay with a high water table that requires dewatering on many excavation jobs. The Scarborough Marsh, Maine's largest salt marsh, constrains development along the coast and creates strict buffer-zone requirements for any earthwork near its edges. Inland Scarborough features better-drained glacial soils on gently rolling terrain, where residential lot preparation is more straightforward.

The CAT 313GC handles Scarborough's range of conditions, from sandy coastal digs to the heavier clay-and-cobble soils found along the Buxton and Saco borders. I-95, the Maine Turnpike, and Route 1 all pass through town, making Scarborough one of the easiest delivery points in our service area. Neighboring Old Orchard Beach and South Portland are equally accessible. For excavator rental in Scarborough, Maine, we bring the machine to your job site.
