"Had the opportunity to experience Lilco's work on several projects. These guys always had a professional attitude and took the time for all preparations and quality control. They did not leave a mess or unwarranted damages like so many fly-by-night contractors tend to do. They even magnet swept driveways for screws/nails whenever they finished loading out for the night. The owner is always up front about any costs, with no hidden charges to get the jobs done."

"We hired Elite Development Creations last fall to do a very difficult job on my property as the touraine was very even with different levels. Their expertise was far ranging and tackled our site with proper man power and materials. They built stone walls, graded, and specimen plantings. They really care about what they do and were great to work with on schedule and budget. Victor was a pleasure and gentleman. Mike R"

"I hired BTJ Demo last year during my kitchen remodel. In regards to that job the results were outstanding. They finished 2 days earlier than projected and most importantly addressed EVERY minor concern we mentioned prior to the job. This review is specifically for the 2 recent snow storms that rocked my area. The storm was so bad that snow removal companies were not able to clean my property within a reasonable timeframe or the astronomical cost. I reached out to BTJ for recommendations in a last ditch effort. This is the best part....they informed me that I could use them for snow removal AND the dude gave me 5 recommended snow removal companies! I valued that kind of integrity and used them. They did a FANTASTIC job cleaning up the snow! Throughout both snow storms they came through 3 times to plow, shovel and salt my driveway! I was not expecting that level of service. I highly recommend this company...they definitely went above and beyond."

"If you have a major repair project American Elite Contractors will make sure to deliver from beginning to end in record time without sacrificing quality. After our last GC quit without notice leaving everything in shambles they came in and fixed his mistakes plus finished the job properly. I'll never call anyone else"

"Hire Jonathan in 2017 to build a new outdoor, two-level deck for our new home. This project involved deconstruction, removal of the previous deck, a large amount of landscaping, wood working, excavating, and working with the town for permitting. Jonathan did a great job managing our expectations, walking us through the plan, as well as educating us about what would be required for such a project. Jonathan and his team were patient with us, walking us through materials, labor, licensing, and all of the other costs and timelines for the project. Jonathan also walked us through all of our options for materials, finishing, and even the details about how the deck would be attached to the bedrock, and the house. When work started, Jonathan's team was very professional. They kept the workspace, and the house tidy, and Jonathan was always very patient with all of our questions. During construction, like I'm sure many projects,Issues arose the required us to change our plans. There was a large tree that was too close to the deck, and we had to remove the tree, as well as alter some plants for the deck. The team was very helpful and very flexible during this whole process. The end result of the projects were better than I could have anticipated. We now have a beautiful outdoor deck, that we enjoy frequently. We would enthusiastically use finest craftsman again!"

"I had a major water issue in my yard which several other contractors either would not take on, or were estimating me what seemed like an unreasonable amount to fix $40k+. Sean and his father, Kevin are extremely friendly, they were very communicative, we agreed on a budget and it was stuck to. They were very responsive about my concerns and requests, and everything turned out great. I would definitely recommend O'Brien excavation for any type of landscaping re-grade or installation of drainage. The stone retaining wall he built also looks great. I can't say enough good about Sean, ESPECIALLY after dealing with a bunch of other contractors trying to get this job done. Sean was great."

"Marcos and his team helped breakdown a boulder that needed to be moved. It was too heavy to move without large equipment, so they split it and moved the pieces into a natural area. Very good price -- there was no way I could have moved it or split it on my own."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Thornwood, 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.
