  • We got a load of compost from these guys for our gardens this year and it was totally awesome! Sifted well and my plants loved it ... best garden year we've had for a long time :)

  • I love these people. They're doing a great thing with local compost. We just got 6.5 yds of their Garden Soil Blend. It consists of their dark, rich screened topsoil, compost and sand to aid in drainage. Really nice product and friendly people.

  • We love P&S. The staff there are all super helpful and really patient with my 3 year old. The service is prompt and the material is of excellent quality. Highly recommended. We have been filling all or raised beds in our garden with their garden blend and have been having very good luck with it.

  • This company is the best. They put a new septic tank in for me in October 2019. Then they came back in the spring and ran the rock hound plus seed and mulch. Very professional and top notch. You guys are awesome keep up the great work.

About Us

P&S Excavating, LLC, formerly known as William H. Proctor & Son, was established in 1955 by William H. Proctor (Bill). Bill worked long, hard hours to make sure his customers were satisfied. Bill became a well-known businessman in the Trumansburg area. At a young age, Bill’s son Jim came to work for him. After graduation, Jim joined the business and worked side-by-side with Bill for many years. Jim took over the business in 1994, after his father’s passing. Jim has carried on the satisfied customer policy and has expanded and upgraded the business.

In 2001, Jim and his wife Mary changed the business name to P&S Excavating, LLC. At the present time, Jim and Mary are running the business with a workforce of 3-6 employees.

P&S Excavating, LLC, does a variety of jobs including (but not limited to) full site preparation, water hookup, driveways, foundations, ponds, drainage, land clearing, demolition, and septic systems. P&S Excavating also sells topsoil, mulch, and stone. P&S Excavating is fully insured and gives free estimates.

Cayuga Compost was formed in 2005 when Jim and Mary Proctor took over the composting operation from the Cayuga Nature Center. At that time, there were 7 businesses composting; today there are over 200 businesses using our composting service. Our commercial compost facility is permitted to receive up to 5,000 wet tons of organics per year. These organics go through a carefully monitored, all-natural year-long process turning them into a nutrient-rich, all-natural premium compost; which is then sold in bulk, bags, and special blends.

We are pleased to announce that Cayuga Compost has earned the certification of the US Composting Council, STA (Seal of Testing Assurance) Program®. This means that our Premium Compost has met or exceeded all of the rigorous testing requirements in order to receive this professional certification. STA Certified®, Cayuga Compost is your assurance of only the finest, consistent, and certified high-quality compost, for all of your growing and soil amendment needs.
