Excavating Services
In the simplest of terms it is the decades of experience of our OSHA-certified team powered by the most accurate, GPS-enabled excavating equipment available. Our entire work crew is trained and certified under current OSHA standards, and our piping crews all hold the confined space certification.
Our equipment is maintained to the highest standards, which helps to make us one of the safest commercial excavating companies in the region. We are able to expedite projects because of our cutting-edge equipment, which enables us to hit the mark on projects like storm ponds, swales, and overall grading.
Excavating services prepare sites by moving earth and materials for construction projects across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
- Site Preparation: Land clearing, grading, and topsoil removal for building foundations and lots.
- Foundation Work: Digging footings, basements, trenches for structures and retaining walls.
- Utilities Installation: Trenching for water, sewer, storm drains, pipes, and underground lines.
- Roadway & Infrastructure: Road construction, bridge foundations, embankments, drainage systems.
- Demolition & Removal: Debris clearing, rock/muck excavation, dredging ponds or channels.
- Specialized Earthwork: Cut/fill balancing, borrow pit material sourcing, sediment/erosion control.

Grading Services at YEC
York Excavating Company (YEC) delivers precision site grading for commercial, industrial, and institutional projects across Central PA and Northern MD, achieving accuracy within a tenth of an inch using GPS-guided equipment and OSHA-certified operators.
Why YEC Stands Out in Grading
YEC focuses on these details that others often overlook:
- GPS/Laser Calibration: Real-time adjustments for exact engineer specs, beyond basic machine control.
- Post-Grade Soil Testing: Compaction verification and stability checks pre-pour.
- Integrated Drainage Optimization: Custom swales/slopes tied to full utilities/paving scope.
- Erosion Control from Day One: Silt fencing/hydroseeding during grading, not after.
- 24/7 Weather Response: Rapid re-grading for rain delays, minimizing downtime.
- Legacy Documentation: 79+ years of site data for repeat clients’ predictive planning.
