RJL Contracting in Belchertown, MA
Belchertown is home. Jake Lafleche has spent his entire career working on properties in and around this town, and RJL Contracting operates out of Belchertown at 01007. When you hire RJL in Belchertown, there's no drive time to factor in, no unfamiliarity with the roads or the lots. Jake knows the terrain here because he's been on it for years.
Belchertown's character is rural and agricultural, with large lots, horse properties, and a housing stock that includes plenty of older homes built when today's septic regulations didn't exist. That combination means septic work is a significant part of what RJL handles in town. Older systems fail Title 5 inspections during property sales, and new construction on raw land requires full system installs from scratch. Jake coordinates the whole process with local engineers and the Belchertown Board of Health.
The soil in Belchertown ranges from sandy loam in some areas to heavier clay in others, and the terrain isn't flat. Proper grading, drainage, and system siting are never cookie-cutter jobs here. That's true for a new driveway on a sloped lot, a leaching field on a rocky parcel, or a retaining wall along a farm property edge. RJL has handled all of it.
Belchertown is also a busy place for residential site work tied to new construction and additions. Lot clearing, foundation excavation, backfill, and finish grading are steady work here as the town continues to see new home builds on larger rural parcels. If you've got a project in Belchertown, you're calling the local guy.
