"Frank's crew expanded my driveway footprint, built beautiful stone retaining walls, and finished the job with the best paving work I have seen. A tip of the hat to the crew that was hard working and polite, and who worked through the extremely hot weather of late late August. Best Value out there. Thanks for the great work!"

"Last spring I decided to build a new stone patio and kitchen and selected Elite Development to do our project. They were not the cheapest but it was clear to us that these guys know what they are doing. From layout, to construction, to final turf and plantings they knocked it out of the park. Could not be happier and would not hesitate to hire them again. Alan F"

"The team helped us through one of the worst situations. Our home was severely damaged and flooded by Superstorm Sandy. We needed someone to help secure the existing structure, help oversee the insurance process and do the rebuild and remodel. We were very appreciative of the diligent work of this firm. They helped create a better design to prevent future flood risks, remodeled the house in full, and did it within our budget with insurance. In the beginning there were many nights where the team pulled all nighters."

"This the 2nd time I hired William. In 23 years of hiring contractors for home improvement projects, I have not come across a better contractor. William built a stone wall and field stone patio for me as well as reshaped my driveway. Thanks to his expert suggestions and artistry with his excavator, my project turned out better than i ever imagined. He showed up and finished on time and on budget. And every time he saw me, his first question was a genuine how are you?; followed by are you happy with the work? William wants to make certain you are happy in the end. I have not a single criticism of his work on this project (or the first one he did for me 2 years earlier), and I would recommend him without any reservation whatsoever.I have several more outdoor projects to complete in the next year. Given William's expert work, his dedication to customer service, and his very good value for the money, I will certainly look to him to complete these as well."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.
