GroundWorks Construction, Inc.
Excavation & Site Development You Can Rely On – Serving Rhode Island Since 2005

Hi, I’m Anthony Squillante, founder of GroundWorks Construction, Inc. Since 2005, we’ve been providing excavation, septic system installation, and site development services throughout Rhode Island—including Bristol, Kent, Newport, Providence, and Washington counties.

This company started with a simple mission: deliver honest, high-quality work that people can count on. Over the years, we've grown, but that mission hasn’t changed. Whether we're digging out a residential basement, installing a new septic system, or handling full prep for a commercial site, we bring the same attention to detail and commitment to every project.

We’re a small, experienced team that takes pride in doing the job right—on time and without cutting corners. Most of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers, and that’s something we’re proud of.

Here’s what we specialize in:

Excavation & Site Development
Residential & commercial excavation, basement and pool digs, site grading, lot clearing, trenching, and utility prep.

Septic System Installation & Repair
From conventional and aerobic systems to septic tank replacements and drain field work—we handle installs and repairs with care.

Drainage & Retaining Walls
French drains, drainage system installs, and custom-built retaining walls to help manage water and protect your property.

Demolition & Pond Construction
Safe, efficient structure removal and pond excavation for homes, farms, and commercial properties.

If you're looking for a team that treats your property like it’s our own—and delivers work that holds up for years to come—give us a call. I’d be happy to talk about your project and how we can help.
