Raymond’s growth has accelerated as the Route 101 corridor attracts both commercial development and residential buyers priced out of the seacoast towns. The highway interchange area along Route 101 near Route 102 has become a commercial hub with gas stations, retail, and service businesses that generate steady excavation demand for site prep, utility installation, and stormwater management. Our CAT 313GC fits the commercial work along the highway corridor while also serving the residential subdivisions expanding into the wooded terrain north and south of Route 101.

Residential development in Raymond clusters along Route 102 toward Chester and along Route 107 toward Fremont, with lake-community properties around Onway Lake and Governors Lake adding a waterfront dimension. The lakefront work involves camp-to-home conversions, shoreline stabilization, and septic upgrades within DES setback zones—all requiring an operator who can work precisely in constrained spaces near water. The upland residential lots are standard Rockingham County wooded parcels: sandy loam soil, boulders, stumps, and the full clearing-to-grading project cycle.

Raymond’s soil conditions are generally favorable for excavation—sandy glacial till on the higher ground, with clay deposits near the Lamprey River and the low-lying areas around the lakes. The town’s building inspection office has kept pace with the development growth, and permits move reasonably quickly for both residential and commercial projects. Contractors working Raymond often serve Epping and Candia on the same rental cycle.
