Working in Imlay City
Imlay City is in Lapeer County, about 12 miles from the yard in Capac. It is one of the closest towns to the yard. Elite Excavating LLC is owner-operated: George prices the job and George runs the machine.
Lapeer County work runs to acreage: long gravel drives, fields going back to brush, and pole barn pads on ground that was never built on before. Each of those has its own page: gravel driveways in Lapeer County, pole barn pads in Lapeer County and land clearing in Lapeer County.
Smaller jobs get quoted the same way. That covers grading and land leveling, drainage, residential excavating and material hauling. Call for anything from a day of dirt work to a full lot cleared and prepped. The estimate is free either way.
Nearby town pages: Capac, the home base, Almont about 14 miles from the yard, and Lapeer about 22.
Everything we do, in Imlay City.
- Land Clearing. Trees, brush, scrub and stumps taken off the ground so the land underneath can be built on, farmed, fenced or mowed.
- Brush Hogging & Forestry Mulching. Standing brush and small trees cut and mulched where they stand, leaving a clean layer on the ground instead of a pile to deal with.
- Grading & Land Leveling. Yards, lots and building pads cut to a grade that sheds water instead of holding it — the work that decides whether everything built on top of it lasts.
- Driveway Installation & Repair. New drives cut in, tired ones brought back, and lots resurfaced — built on a proper base and crowned so the water runs off the edges.
- Drainage Solutions. Water moved away from foundations, yards and low spots — starting with the grade, and adding pipe only where pipe is what the ground needs.
- Material Hauling. Stone, sand, topsoil and fill brought in — and dirt, spoil and debris taken out — with the machine already there to spread it.
- Pole Barn Pad Prep. A level, compacted pad built to the size and elevation your builder gave you, so the barn that goes on it sits right for the life of the building.
- Residential Excavating. Digging, backfill and dirt work on properties where the lawn, the drive and the fence all have to still be there when the machine leaves.

Every review on the Google profile is five stars. These are some of them, word for word.
We asked for an addition to the parking area on the property. George listened to our needs, worked efficiently, and delivered exactly what we asked for on time, and for a very reasonable price. He even took care of damages on the existing drive that were not included in the quote. Three days, start to finish.
George was amazing to deal with. We were dealt with a huge problem when hiring someone to build a pool. He was very professional and told us step by step what he was going to do to fix the problem. He went over and above to make things right. We will definitely use Elite Excavating LLC again for any future needs.
Hired Elite Excavating to move 400 yards of dirt and grade a backyard area after new construction. George was professional, timely and very easy to work with. The finished product is exactly what I was looking for and all the work was done on budget.
No mystery, no surprise invoice.
