Reach out today and let’s start building what’s next—together.

How Can Get Started?

Someone interested in starting a project with YEC should begin by reaching out early in their planning process to share basic project details and timelines. The best first step is to contact YEC’s team through the website’s “Contact” page, call the main office at (717) 755-0607, or email the estimating team with your plans and goals at estimating@yorkexcavating.com.
From there, YEC typically reviews your drawings, specifications, and schedule, then coordinates follow-up questions or a site visit if needed to understand access, soils, utilities, and phasing requirements. This allows the estimating and project management teams to collaborate on a clear, realistic proposal that aligns scope, budget, and timing before work begins.

Why Choose YEC For Your Next Project

YEC has over 78 years of proven precision, full-service site development, and a team that delivers complex projects on time, on budget, and right the first time—every time.
