Working in Sterling Heights

Sterling Heights sits in Macomb County, about 38 miles from the yard in Capac. Work here is booked around the rest of the schedule, so the further out it is, the more it helps to call early in the week.

What it includes

Everything we do, in Sterling Heights.

  • 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.

What does an estimate cost?

Nothing. George comes out, walks the job with you and gives you a number before any work starts.

What area do you cover?

Capac and the surrounding St. Clair, Lapeer and Macomb County towns, and further for larger jobs. If you are outside that, call anyway and you will get a straight answer.

How soon can you start?

It depends on the season and the weather. Spring and fall run busiest. You will be told a realistic window, not a date that sounds good on the phone.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. A day of dirt work and a week of clearing both get quoted the same way.

Who actually does the work?

George runs the equipment. That is why the bids are accurate and the schedule holds.

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.

How it goes

No mystery, no surprise invoice.

Walk the job

George comes out, looks at the ground with you and talks through what it actually needs.

A number before work starts

You get a price for the job in front of you, not a rate and a shrug.

The machine shows up

The equipment arrives when it was said it would, and the work runs start to finish.

Left clean

Ruts knocked down, ground graded, debris gone. The site is finished, not abandoned.
