Welcome back to Maine for the season.

Memorial Day weekend marks the traditional opening of summer homes across the state.

If your first walk around the property reveals erosion, storm damage, or a compromised shoreline, Cross Country Land Services can help.

We specialize in two distinct areas of land protection:
Shoreline & Slope Stabilization – Stopping active ground loss and reinforcing vulnerable banks using environmentally compliant techniques that protect your waterfront for the long term.

Erosion & Sediment Control – Managing stormwater runoff and protecting water quality during renovations, on steep slopes, or through heavy seasonal rain. We install precise environmental barriers to keep soil on your land and out of Maine’s pristine waters.

Our core project standards - regardless of project size/scope:
* 100% Certified Field Crews – Every team member, from ownership to on-site crew, is individually certified in Maine DEP Erosion and Sediment Control practices.
* “Clean-In, Clean-Out” Biosecurity – our equipment is high-pressure washed before entering your property to protect against invasive species.
* Purpose-built low-impact machinery designed for tight, sensitive, and waterfront terrain with minimal disruption.
* 7-Day Availability – Reachable 8 AM–8 PM daily. A real person answers.
* Fully insured and $25M Single-Project Bonding Capacity – The resources of a large operation with local, hands-on service.

We Build Where Others Won't.

Access. Grading. Utilities. Water. Structural systems. We transform terrain deemed impossible into the foundation for extraordinary properties — before a single wall goes up.

Topographic analysis, geotechnical review, hydrology study, and regulatory mapping. We see what others miss and quantify what others fear.

Private roads, bridges, grade-beam driveways, and switchback systems engineered for permanence.
Entry worthy of what lies beyond it.

Mass grading, rock excavation, blasting, shotcrete walls, and tiered terrace systems. We reshape terrain on our terms, not nature's.

Power, water, sewer, and data brought to the pad - regardless of distance or difficulty. We extend civilization into the wilderness.

Detention basins, waterfalls, engineered streams, and drainage networks that turn a liability into a landscape feature.

We hand off a permitted, stabilized, serviced pad to your architect of choice. Our job ends where theirs begins.

We are not homebuilders.
We are the reason a home is possible at all.

The sites that command the most extraordinary views and the highest valuations are, by definition, the sites where conventional contractors stop.

Steep ridgelines. Remote canyons. River-edge parcels. Bedrock summits.

These are not problems to us. They are the conditions we were built for.

Our teams have spent decades solving the logistical, geotechnical, and regulatory challenges that place a parcel on the "unbuildable" list — and removing it from that list permanently.

We deliver infrastructure. Entitlements. Pads. Access. The invisible foundation of everything that follows.

Your Site.
Our Problem to Solve.
Bring us the parcels your architect or county said can’t be done.
We'll tell you what it takes….and accomplish it for you.

Seeking Strategic Infrastructure Partners – Maine & New England

Cross Country Land Services is currently scaling operations and seeking a Strategic Partner who operates at the intersection of technical precision and mission-critical ex*****on.

We have a surplus of high-value opportunities - ranging from high-end residential developments to major federal infrastructure and utility-scale energy projects. We are looking for a firm that is hungry, skilled, and, above all, reliable. In this industry, our word is our bond—that is the standard we operate by, and we expect the same from our partners.

Core Capabilities Required:
🔥 Wildfire Mitigation: Mechanical fuels reduction & defensible space.
🚜 Mechanical Land Clearing: Large-scale site prep & vegetation management.
⚡ Civil/Utility: Underground electrical collector lines & utility-scale installations.
🌊 Environmental: Shoreline stabilization & DEP-compliant restoration.
🏗️ Critical Infrastructure: Stream/tidal crossings & federal site modernization.
🛣️ Site Ex*****on: Access roads, parking infrastructure, & drainage management.

The Territory:
Based in Maine, our focus covers high-value regions across New England, with the infrastructure and potential to pursue contracts on a national scale.

The Ideal Partner:
You aren’t looking for a boss - you’re looking to scale your own firm alongside a partner who values strategic resource planning. We are looking for a partner, not someone we have to micro-manage before the equipment even hits the dirt. We understand that in federal and high-end sectors, communication is just as important as the horsepower of the machinery.

If your firm has the bandwidth to prioritize growth and you are ready to operate at a nonstop pace, let’s discuss how we can align our resources.

👉 Full Capability Statement, UEI, and CAGE code are available for qualified partnership inquiries.

DM us directly to start the conversation.

It’s the nightmare no Maine homeowner wants to imagine: the smell of acrid smoke drifting through the hemlock and pines, the distant roar of a crown fire, and the sudden, gut-wrenching realization that you have mere minutes to decide what stays and what goes.

Your home isn't just a structure. It’s the height chart etched into the pantry door. It’s the heirloom barn built by your grandfather. It’s the peace of mind you feel when you pull into your driveway in Rangeley, Kennebunkport, Mount Desert Island, or anywhere in our Great North Woods. You get the picture!!!

In 2025 alone, 852 wildfires tore through Maine, destroying 69 structures—homes and barns that families thought were safe. These weren't just numbers on a report; they were legacies that vanished because the "fuel ladder" brought the fire from the dry grass straight to the roof.

Don’t leave your legacy to chance.

At Cross Country Land Services, we specialize in the proactive "hardening" of Maine residential properties. We provide the strategic, infrastructure-grade defenses that stand watch when you aren't there.

• Breaking the Ladder: We professionally limb your trees to an 8-foot minimum, stripping the fire of its path into your canopy.
• Creating the Buffer: Using high-horsepower forestry mulchers which use mastication to grind debris, we turn volatile brush and invasive thickets into a flat, moisture-retaining mulch that starves a ground fire of oxygen.
• Hardening the Perimeter: From 1/8-inch ember-resistant venting to strategic horizontal canopy spacing, we ensure your home is a "cold spot" in a hot zone.
• Guaranteeing Access: We ensure your driveway offers the 12'x14' clearance and 60-foot turnarounds that Maine firefighting equipment require to stay and fight for your property.

The time for "maybe later" ended in 2025. Forecasters are already voicing concern that 2026 is going to continue drought conditions.

When those dry winds pick up and the sirens start, will you be confident that you’ve done everything to harden your home? Or will you be wondering if those low-hanging branches were worth the risk?

Cross Country Land Services is the only strategic partner in Maine with the veteran-owned precision and specialized equipment to secure your perimeter BEFORE the smoke appears.

Protect what you love. Secure your legacy today.

Take the First Step Toward Resilience

Don't wait for the next Red Flag Warning to assess your risk.

Contact our office today at (207) 320-3390 to arrange a comprehensive wildfire mitigation site evaluation. Email: [email protected]

We will walk your property with you to identify critical fuel ladders, access bottlenecks, and structural vulnerabilities and create a plan to ensure your home remains a safe haven.

Ex*****on Doesn’t Wait for Monday Morning…

Most people live by the 9-to-5, Monday through Friday clock. At Cross Country Land Services, we have never operated within that traditional mindset.

We believe professional stewardship requires a different standard of availability.

Our only mindset is exemplary service.

That is why when you call between 8 AM and 8 PM, any day of the week, you get a real person ready to discuss your project—not a voicemail.

From Saturday site assessments to Sunday consultations, we are on-site and on the line when your project demands it.

Stewardship and ex*****on don’t take the weekend off, and neither do we.

When you call, we answer. It’s that simple.

Cross Country Land Services is starting 2026 with strong momentum across Maine.

Crews are mobilized, equipment is in place, and projects are moving exactly as planned.

Our focus remains the same:
• Large-scale earthwork and mass excavation
• Underground utilities (water, gas, electricity, telecommunications)

We take pride in being a contractor developers can rely on—capable of handling complex sites, aggressive schedules, and high-volume production without cutting corners.

Looking forward to another strong year partnering with property owners, developers, civil engineering firms, municipal, state, and the federal government on projects which value ex*****on, accountability, and results.
