EXCAVATION & GRADING IN RUTLAND: WHAT TO KNOW
Excavation and grading in Rutland move soil near roots and water, so local rules come first. Rutland is listed among the Quabbin Reservoir and Ware River watershed communities under the state Watershed Protection Act, so ask DCR or the town about protection zones before digging near water. Rutland spreads over 36.4 square miles of high ground, with the town common near 1,200 feet and villages from New Boston to Turkey Hill.
Rules change, so confirm with the town before work starts. Full local rules and sources are in our Rutland tree service guide.
