"November 13 2025 I hired Elite & Elevated Construction & Excavation to complete excavation, footings, and foundation work for a large project I was working on. I invested about $55,000 in the project, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. The job was completed perfectly and on time, even though the weather conditions were terrible. We had snow, rain, and freezing temperatures, but nothing stopped Mario and his crew. They showed up every day, worked efficiently, and stayed committed to getting the job done right and fast. I truly appreciate their dedication because I needed the work completed quickly, and despite the weather challenges, they delivered exactly what they promised. Professional, reliable, and hardworking team. I would definitely recommend Elite & Elevated Construction & Excavation, and I will absolutely hire them again to install my concrete driveway in the future"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
