"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 own discount cesspool and drain inc, ive been using Mike for over 10 years! His work is always perfect. He gives me and many new home owners the more resonable prices ever! Mike always comes on time and gives me a free in person estimate. If his price is higher than other contractors he beats the other price quoted by $500 every time. One of my favorite parts about this conpany is that they are family owned and operated. I highly recommend thid company to anyone looking for beautiful work, foundations, waterproofing, Ashphault work, brick and masnary work!! Thanks again Mike and Jim!!! -Dom Motta, president of Discount Cesspool and Drain Inc"

"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!"

"Two men arrived on time and went up and down a staircase to get all the stuff up in the loft. We looked at what came down and decided whether to have them put it in the dumpster they provided or if we wanted to keep it. They where fast ! They worked hard , they where polite and we thought they did a great job. We did have them come one more time for the rest of the stuff we had to get rid of. They swept up after everything was out and it was a big job. So, the price we are estimating was for two times they came .

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Stony Brook, NY

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.
