Replacing aging driveways and walls in Far Hills
Far Hills is a long-established community, and in older neighborhoods the driveways, retaining walls, and drainage that went in decades ago are wearing out. A big part of what we do here is tearing out cracked, failing work and rebuilding it to last, often on tight lots where access takes real care.
We also do a fair amount of site work where older properties are being rebuilt or expanded. That is a big part of what we do here, but it is far from the only thing. We still handle sewer and water lines, septic, grading, driveways, and emergency digs across town.

Somerset County is denser and more suburban, which brings more sewer and water line work, underground utilities, and hardscaping on established properties.
In a built-up borough like Far Hills, the common jobs are sewer and water lines, underground utilities, and excavation in tighter spots. Whether it is an emergency sewer or water line dig-out, a septic system, a lot that will not drain, or a new driveway, we bring our own equipment and an operator who knows the ground in this part of Somerset County.

What tends to be in the ground in Far Hills
Most of Far Hills went up in the 1990s, across roughly 435 housing units.
About 21% predates 1940, so there is a real pocket of clay and galvanized service in Far Hills sitting alongside much newer stock.
A smaller share, around 13%, falls in the 1940s-to-early-70s Orangeburg era, so it turns up on some streets and not others.

Far Hills is split between public water and private wells
About 20.9% of Far Hills’s land area sits inside a public water purveyor’s delivery area, all of it served by NJ American Water - Short Hills. Outside those pockets most properties are on a well, sometimes their own and sometimes one shared with neighbors, and the three situations are different jobs with different rules. Which one you are in is the first thing to settle, and your bill settles it faster than any map.

NJDEP maps actual delivery areas for public community systems, meaning fifteen or more year-round connections; smaller shared and association systems are real but do not appear. Percentages are share of land area, not share of homes, and a state file can lag a change of ownership. The name on your bill beats any map, including this one.
Sewer in Far Hills is a pocket, not a network
About 5.2% of Far Hills’s land area falls inside a mapped sewer service area. The largest share goes to Environmental Disposal Corporation WTP, with 2 smaller works alongside it. A service area is where sewer is planned and permitted, not a promise that a main runs past your house, so the only way to settle it for one address is to look. Outside it, septic.
Sewer connections, laterals and septic work are all things we do, and which one you need is usually settled in one phone call. Sewer and water line work.
