"I called John and left a voicemail and he got back to me immediately. He double checked that I needed a cesspool certification and not an inspection which would have been more invasive and costly, and once confirmed, scheduled them to come out that weekend. The man who performed the certification was right on time and was very quick but professional and thorough. Everything was seamless, and for something requested by the bank so last minute, we were grateful to get it completed so quickly."

"I have dealt with many contractors and landscapers before. I have never had such a positive experience. Tom made me feel so comfortable from the moment we met until the job was done. His work was absolutely perfect. His crew stayed long after the job was done to make sure the yard was clean And the driveway was swept. I will be recommending to everyone."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring American Elite. to build my dream home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their exceptional service. From start to finish, their professionalism and dedication were evident. The project began with several insightful meetings with the CEO and project managers. These sessions provided me with all the necessary information and set clear expectations for the building process. The team was transparent and thorough, ensuring I was well-informed every step of the way. One of the standout aspects of working with AEC was their commitment to deadlines. They consistently met or even exceeded their projected timelines, which greatly alleviated the stress typically associated with home construction. Their efficiency did not compromise the quality of their work; every detail of my home was crafted to perfection!"

"

The Junk in My Trunk crew called us early on the day of the appointment to let us know when they would arrive and to confirm directions.  They showed up when they were expected and cleared out all the unwanted items in the house.  They were cooperative and cordial throughout the process, and cleared out items including mattresses, sofas and couches, and a refrigerator that was in the basement.  They filled every inch of the 12-yard truck and as a result I felt that I got very good value for the price.  I would not hesitate to use this service again or recommend them.

"I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have a pool excavation done in my backyard! From start to finish, the entire process exceeded my expectations. Steven was prompt, professional, and incredibly skilled. Steve and his team took great care to ensure minimal disruption to the surrounding area and completed the project on time. The excavation itself was impressive—everything was done with precision, and the site was left clean and tidy afterward. It’s amazing to see how much more space I have now, and I’m already making plans for how I’ll transform the area. Whether it’s for a new landscape, outdoor seating, or just more room to enjoy my backyard, I feel like the possibilities are endless. If you’re considering pool excavation or any type of excavation job I highly recommend high idle excavation It’s a game changer for your outdoor space, and I’m so glad I took the leap!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
