Building something beautiful starts from the ground up. 🚜🏡

Exciting progress on a gorgeous new construction project overlooking the bay in the Traverse City area!

Our crew is hard at work on the site preparation and backfilling, laying the groundwork for what promises to be a stunning new home.

We’re especially excited about this one because we’re collaborating with High Grade Design Studio who will be bringing the exterior design vision to life.

Two local businesses, one exciting project, and a whole lot of possibilities.

Stay tuned as this one takes shape!

New build underway in Kingsley! 🚧

Site prep is well underway on this new basement project. We cleared over an acre of large hardwood, installed a construction drive to keep the site accessible until final grades are established for the permanent driveway, and have the basement prepped and ready for concrete.

A lot happens before a new home ever starts coming out of the ground. Getting the site cleared, accessible, and properly prepared sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Ready for concrete and the next phase!

What an honor to be part of the National Cherry Festival Parade! 🍒🎶

High Grade Excavation was proud to provide our trailer and dump truck to pull the Traverse City West High School Band through the parade route this year.

Supporting our local students and being able to give back to our community is something we’re truly grateful for. Seeing the band perform and the smiles along the parade route made it all worthwhile.

A big thank you to the talented students, directors, volunteers, and everyone who helps make this tradition possible. We’re proud to call Traverse City home and are thankful for opportunities like this to serve our community.

❤️ From all of us at High Grade Excavation, thank you for a great Cherry Festival, and best wishes to the TC West Band for a fantastic season ahead!
