When it comes to commercial excavation, it’s not a time to cut corners. For retail complex development, utility installation, large industrial development, or parking lots, the clear path begins at the base, below the ground line. At Thomas Excavation, we know a solid beginning finishes well, and that’s why Michigan developers, business owners, and general contractors have come to depend on us to deliver results.

Built for Bigger Jobs

It takes more than just big machines to do commercial excavation. We go from knowledge of what is in the soil to grading of large sites for proper water flow and elevation; we have the tools, the men, and the plan to meet heavy-duty needs. We have worked on:

• Office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Municipal projects
• Storage facilities
• Large-scale drainage systems
• Parking lots and roads

We bring a discerning eye for detail and an appreciation for the timeline and budget constraints of commercial work. We aren’t here to impede the project — we’re here to help keep it on schedule.

Precision Meets Power

What we have is the power to hit hard, and then the precision to combine. With a solid fleet of up-to-date machinery, such as excavators, bulldozers, trenchers, and dump trucks, we’re prepared to dig, clear, and level with laser-like precision. So when it comes to grading, GPS technology and decades of hands-on knowledge mean we’re not just moving dirt—we’re shaping the land to spec.

And we’re good for it because we’re a local team and we know the lay of the land — literally. From addressing environmental issues to working with local utility companies, we know how to cut through red tape and keep things moving.

Reliability You Can Count on for Safety and Professionalism

Digging can be dangerous…. but not with us. Our staff adheres to and is certified in rigorous safety procedures. Jobsite safety is not only about safeguarding our team—it’s about safeguarding your investment. We also make it a point to be clean, courteous, and communicative throughout. When you work with Thomas Excavation, you’re dealing with contractors who are as invested in your project as you are.

The Perfect Companion From Debut to End.

The sooner you can bring us in, the better the job goes. We are frequently part of the “planning team” and work with the developers, owners, engineers, and architects in the early stages of the site plan so as to handle their site prep, drainage, utilities, and grading needs up front. Do you require assistance getting your site ready for excavation? We’re happy to walk the land with you, to give a bid, to give honest insight on what it’s going to take.
