About DGL Contracting LLC

Built on Experience. Known for Getting It Done Right.

DGL Contracting LLC is a Rockland, Massachusetts-based contractor serving the South Shore with a focus on small excavation, landscape construction, and property maintenance. We’re not a one-service company — we’re the crew you call when you need a job handled start to finish, without juggling multiple contractors.


Our foundation goes back over 30 years in the industry, long before DGL was officially formed. That experience shows up in how we plan jobs, how we operate equipment, and how we solve problems on-site.

Our Approach

The Right People.

The Right Equipment.

The Right Experience.

That’s not just a tagline — it’s how we run every project.

We’ve built a team of skilled operators and field professionals backed by the right equipment to handle a wide range of work efficiently. Whether it’s trenching for utilities, grading a property, or building out a new patio or retaining wall, we have the capability to take it on without cutting corners.



Most importantly, we bring experience that helps avoid the common mistakes that slow projects down or cost more in the long run.

What Sets Us APart

A Niche Most Contractors Avoid

One of the things that sets DGL apart is our focus on small excavation and site work.


A lot of larger companies won’t touch these jobs. They’re too small, too detailed, or require more precision than they’re set up for. That’s where we come in.


  • Electrical trenching and utility prep
  • Site grading and land clearing
  • Water line work
  • Small foundations and pads

These projects still need to be done right — and that’s exactly what we’re built for.

Our Service Include

More Than Just Excavation

While excavation is a core part of what we do, DGL is built to handle the full scope of outdoor and property work.
