"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"

"Originally we had thought there would be no excavation, just a concrete floor. When we probed the possibility of an excavation that would involve removing about 1800 cubic feet of dirt, Greg Mitchell said that they had not done a job this large and he had to think it through. He came to our house and we discussed multiple ways of removing the dirt, considering time, cost-effectiveness, and keeping the house clean. Greg was quite easy to talk to. One of the options discussed was a conveyor belt through a window-well, another was dump trucks in the back yard, but ultimately the solution that made the most sense was to dig down outside the front of the house, cut a temporary hole in the foundation, shovel the dirt onto a conveyor belt that would extend from the crawl space and connect with a second conveyor belt that took the dirt into a dumpster. Once the job started, it was realized that this was not fast enough and multiple conveyor belts inside the crawl space were utilized so that dirt would only have to be handled once. Some of the dirt was too hard to excavate using hand shovels, so power chisels were used. Removing the dirt was over the half the cost of the entire operation. The workers seemed to take pride in their work. Greg was prepared to do a spray fire-proofing but we decided to do wallboard. We also added the steel trowel finish. We feel that he handled this and other slight changes nicely as the job progressed, and the final cost to us was very fair."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.
