Tell Matt what you're working on and he'll get back to you personally — usually the same day. No obligation, no pressure.
From raw, untouched land to a graded, permit-ready building pad, MDS Contracting delivers the full range of site preparation and earthwork that Massachusetts residential, commercial, and land-development projects depend on. Every job is handled with the right equipment, an experienced operator behind the controls, and a firm commitment to getting it right the first time — so the ground your project stands on is solid long before the first wall goes up.

Dirt, gravel, and debris — hauled and disposed of.
From the first phone call to the final pass of the machine, you deal with one person — owner-operator Matt St. Denis. There's no chain of account managers to work through and no handoffs between crews that leave details lost along the way. Here's exactly how a project moves from an initial conversation to finished work on the ground.
Call, text, or use the quote form with the basics — location, rough scope, and timeline. The more you share, the faster we get you an accurate number.
Matt visits in person to check ground conditions, access, drainage, and scope — so the price is accurate and there are no surprises later.
You get a clear, itemized written quote. Once it's agreed on, it holds — no mid-project markups or surprise add-ons.
Crew and equipment show up on the agreed date. Matt oversees the job start to finish, to the standard he'd expect on his own property.
Site work is only ever as good as the people and equipment standing behind it. MDS Contracting is built on direct owner involvement, honest pricing, and full accountability on every job — the standards that keep developers, builders, and homeowners across Massachusetts coming back and referring us to others.
There's no dispatcher screening your call and no salesperson relaying messages back and forth. The person who quotes your job is the same person running the equipment on it — which means clearer communication, faster decisions, and complete accountability from the first call through to the final grade.
You receive a written, itemized number after the site visit — established before any equipment ever arrives on your property. That figure is the figure you pay. We don't pad invoices with mid-project "discoveries" or surprise charges, because the work was scoped honestly from the very start.
MDS Contracting carries full site development and trucking coverage, operating under USDOT 4559505 and MC 1812039. You're working with a properly licensed, fully insured contractor — and complete documentation is available on request for any project that requires it.

Matt St. Denis has spent his career on job sites, not behind a desk — and he built MDS Contracting to run the way he believes site work should. He reads the ground himself, sizes up what a project genuinely needs, and climbs into the cab to get it done. Whatever the scope, the standard doesn't change: he works every property as if it were his own, and he isn't satisfied until the finished grade would hold up to that same measure.
For clients, that translates into something simple but increasingly hard to find — one experienced hand carrying the job from the first walkthrough to the last, and putting his own name on how it turns out. It's a way of working that has earned MDS steady repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals from builders, developers, and homeowners throughout Massachusetts.
Based in Boylston, serving contractors, developers, and homeowners across central and eastern Massachusetts.
Call or text Matt. Tell him what the site looks like and what you're trying to do with it — he'll tell you what it takes.
