"Angelo & team were amazing to work with. From design to implementation, it was a smooth experience. We had the same crew working at our house every day- the guys were friendly, polite, tolerated my 5 year old daughter asking them what they were doing each day (LOL). Their work was top notch- no corners cut. Every day they left my house clean, nothing left out- all materials put away and the rooms were safe for my kids and dog to be in. We couldn’t be happier with the work done. "

"Could not be more pleased with Kevin Kearns and his Kearns Construction company. His extensive knowledge, and commitment to excellence was evident in the photos and videos he showed us pertaining to the jobs he has done. It was so refreshing to deal with a person who takes pride in what they do and goes above and beyond what is expected to insure the project is done correctly. What struck us the most about Kevin was his high level of integrity; he not only took the time to understand our project, but went out of his way to insure we knew exactly what he would be doing to remedy our situation. We highly recommend Kearns Construction, LLC."

"I contacted Josh at C3 for a quote to prepare and build a flat, level, 18' by 14' base on a slope framed with 3 levels of 6 x 6 timbers to retain 3 individual layers of premium quality aggregate for superior drainage and soil stability. His design was to insure the driest base environment to install a shed that will last far longer than other contractors I spoke with. I couldn't have been happier with my choice of C3. He and his crew were very professional and detailed in the work performed. Always on time and mindful of the surrounding work area and exceptionally detailed in their final cleanup of the site. I would recommend Josh and his company for this type of work and larger projects due to his commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction."

"Simply Stellar! I have been using Absolute Estate Management for several years and STELLAR is the only adjective that applies. While their spring, summer and fall landscaping work is fantastic, their winter support goes above and beyond. The owner Mark Gilmore has ensured that my driveway is accessible, safe and always the absolute best it can be, given the ever changing winter conditions. During the height of blizzards, his multiple trips, ensures I can always gain access to my home. But, its truly the extra caring by Mark, and his team, is where they really excel. Special requests and sudden needs are aways met with, â we will make it happen.â Truly a great business and I a very happy client!"

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Chester, NJ

You can excavate in winter, but frozen soil slows down the process and increases labor costs. Many grading companies offer discounted rates during their off-season, so ask for a winter quote and weigh the savings against a longer timeline. A brief conversation with a local professional will help determine whether cold-weather excavation is suitable for your site.

Foundation digs can be completed in as little as three days or take up to three weeks. Soil density, access, weather, and hidden obstacles all play a role, so every timeline is a bit different. Have your contractor walk the site and flag any potential issues early—clear expectations help keep both the schedule and budget on track.

You must always call 811 before excavating. Dial 811 a few days in advance so that utility crews can mark underground lines and ensure the area is safe for digging. Hitting a buried cable or gas pipe can be both dangerous and expensive, and many municipalities will not issue permits unless the site is flagged correctly.

To remove soil during an excavation project, your crew will load the spoil into dump trucks with a backhoe or excavator, haul it to a disposal site, and return for the next load. Efficient hauling keeps the work zone clear and the project moving. Depending on the site and volume of osil, multiple trucks may rotate to maintain a steady flow.
