Owner & Operator

# Kash Cochrane

Kash Cochrane has owned and run Prestige Property Maintenance since 2015. He is the one who answers the phone, walks the site, and runs the crew. Hire Prestige and you are working with the owner, not a call center.

Kash Cochrane started Prestige Property Maintenance LLC in 2015 and still runs it as a hands-on operation out of [Oxford, Connecticut](https://prestigectexcavation.com/oxford-ct/). He built the business around a simple idea: most property jobs need more than one kind of work, and a homeowner or builder should not have to call four companies to finish a single project. So Kash handles the full range, from [land clearing](https://prestigectexcavation.com/services/land-clearing/) and excavation through [grading](https://prestigectexcavation.com/services/grading/), drainage, and [retaining walls](https://prestigectexcavation.com/services/retaining-wall-construction/).

Years of local work mean he knows the roads, the lots, and the way water moves across this rocky, glacial ground. He knows what it takes to break ledge on a tight slope or clear a wooded acre, and he gives a straight answer on price and scope before the work starts, not after. Prestige Property Maintenance holds Connecticut Home Improvement Contractor registration HIC #0704432 and carries full insurance.

## What Kash knows

- [Site preparation and excavation](https://prestigectexcavation.com/services/site-preparation-and-excavation/): Foundation, utility, and pool digging, grading, earth moving, and rock removal that account for Connecticut ledge and boulders before the machine ever arrives.
- [Drainage and erosion control](https://prestigectexcavation.com/services/drainage-and-erosion-control/): French drains, catch basins, swales, and retaining walls that move water away from structures and hold soil on sloped, clay-heavy lots.
- [Land development and clearing](https://prestigectexcavation.com/services/land-development-and-clearing/): Land clearing, forestry mulching, stump grinding, and tree removal to open raw or overgrown parcels for what comes next.
- [Local ground knowledge](https://prestigectexcavation.com/service-areas/): Years of work in the Naugatuck Valley's glacial soil, so jobs do not stall when the ground turns to ledge or buried stone.
