"We had an excellent experience from start to finish. The team was highly professional, communicated clearly, and completed the work in a timely manner. Their pricing was very fair for the quality of service provided, and they went above and beyond with a thorough clean-up after the job was done. It was truly a pleasure working with J & N Concrete Excavation LLC and I would highly recommend their services to anyone, we had such a great experience I’ve booked 2 more jobs with them."

"Work went exceptionally well from start to finish. We were referred by a friend, and called Adam for a quote on a small landscape re-design job. Adam met with us several times to get an idea of what we were looking for and to discuss details of timing/options/cost for the job. He did a good job of listening and providing suggestions to get us to exactly what we were looking for. He also did a good job of letting us know what our options were without over-promising or pushing us over our budget, which is pretty hard to find. The work was done quickly, and the quality/attention to detail was excellent. The crew showed up on time, was friendly, and did a great job of cleaning up/not ripping up the yard. Probably most importantly, Adam had the best communication skills of any landscaper/contractor I've ever hired. He responded quickly to phone calls/texts, and didn't let any planning/details go until he was sure that my wife and I were on the same page with him. I can't recommend these guys more highly, and will definitely hire them again in the future."

"Grade A Plumbing earned their "A"! Randy was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He quickly assessed my toilet and garbage disposal situations then provided recommendations to fit my needs - no pressure, just information. I can't tell you how much I appreciate Randy's help and take-care-of-it attitude. I would recommend Grade A Plumbing and Randy!"

"Michael and his team were professional, communicative, and most importantly got the job done! Contractors have a stereotype that they never get back to you or ghost you. Not the case with Michael who made sure to give me a call or txt anytime. He worked with the local supplier to order a custom Andersen window and in the meantime, stopped by multiple times to provide advice and estimates. On the day of the job, everything was completed in a timely manner and they made sure to clean things up after. They replaced a large window without any mess, installed a storm door, and patched up leak damage. They also got on a high ladder three stories high to caulk the exterior for our townhouse. Would highly recommend and definitely work with them again! Thanks Michael!"

"I called American Drain about a problem with my pool. They were able to help me discover the problem on my own. They clearly went over their pricing and practice. I would use them in the future but hope I won't have to!

"Mike is terrific to work with. He and his crew are clean, efficient, and reasonably priced. They helped us to backfill and grade a very wet area and build a boulder retaining wall to divert a stream through our woods. The end result is much more attractive and effective at managing the storm water. Mike was helpful in providing guidance and assistance to ensure the project was done right the first time. We would use him again and recommend him to others in a heartbeat."

"Dear Angi, Chris Clark, the owner of Clark Chimney & Masonry, came out to my home within a few days after our initial phone conversation... He provided me with an estimate later that day... He arrived with his Crew a day later which I found to be very impressive... I originally thought it would be several months before the project could even be started!!! The two Fellows working for him were extremely Professional, Kind, Respectful, and Courteous... Not only did they do my Pellet Stove Installation, they also moved around furniture for me to help clear up my living space... Chris and his Crew did an amazing job and I am so grateful... Now, my Family and I can enjoy the wonderful warmth of our pellet stove... Many Thankx to Clark Chimney & Masonry... You have truly earned our future business..."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Elkins Park, PA

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.
