"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

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

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.
